GM Lordstown plant to reopen after 5-day shutdown

LORDSTOWN, Ohio (AP) - Work will resume at GM Lordstown on Tuesday following last week's shutdown caused by a fire at an auto parts plant in Michigan.

Tom Mock says shifts will begin at the Lordstown plant after significant progress has been made by Magna International Inc., whose interior parts plant near Howell, Mich., caught fire Wednesday.

The fire burned about 25% of the factory space and two large holes in the roof and forced GM and Mazda Motor Corp. both to stop making cars at some plants.
