MORAINE, Ohio -- The city of Moraine stands to lose millions of dollars should the General Motors plant shut down in a year and a half. NewsCenter 7 first reported Thursday that, as of right now, GM has no plans to build vehicles at the plant after September 2008.Moraine officials are now working with plant managers to see what needs to be done to secure a new line of vehicles at the assembly plant.Union officials said the news that they are getting from GM is not good. GM is asking for the Moraine plant to make drastic changes.
