LORDSTOWN, Ohio - The Lordstown plant that once turned-out General Motor Vehicles is getting attention this week from elected officials as the new occupants prepare to unveil their first product.

The latest comes from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted who have announced they will take part in a private tour of the new Lordstown Motors on Wednesday.

The two will meet briefly with a small group of senior staff members and also get a first look at the 2020 Endurance All-Electric Pickup Truck.

The visit by DeWine and Husted will be followed by fellow Republican Vice-President Mike Pence, who has also announced plans to be on hand Thursday afternoon when LMC unveils the truck.

LMC officials had planned to hold the unveiling ceremony at 6 p.m. but moved up the time frame to noon to accommodate the visit of the Vice President.

Upon learning that Pence is coming to Lordstown, the Ohio Democratic Party took the opportunity to note that the visit comes nearly four years after General Motors began laying off workers it once employed at the former assembly plant.

"The sad saga of Lordstown began years ago, and now that thousands of workers have lost their jobs or left behind family and friends to move across the country, Mike Pence is showing his face in the Mahoning Valley," said Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper in a statement. "On the very first day of Donald Trump's presidency, GM laid off 1,200 workers at their Lordstown.”

The statement was accompanied by a timeline of the Lordstown plant since President Trump’s inauguration.
