Auto part supplier Flex-N-Gate has committed to hiring Detroiters first for the 400 jobs the company is creating with the construction of a new parts plant in the city's I-94 Industrial Park that's expected to begin early metal-stamping production by April.
"That's our commitment," Flex-N-Gate owner Shahid Khan said Monday after giving Mayor Mike Duggan a tour of the 450,000-square-foot manufacturing facility.
Khan said starting wages for the jobs would be announced at a later date.
