The living plant at its true addresses

ROW 9 · TRUE SIZE — REAFFIRMED, ADDRESSES VERIFIED

The register already prints this row at true size, and this section reaffirms it with the addresses the lore usually gets wrong: no assembly plant stands, or has ever stood, inside the Granger CDP — the making layer's tenant roll (truss, millwork, brewery, car-wash equipment) is the whole of it. The county's living assembly works is AM General's at Mishawaka, and it has two true addresses, which repetition habitually merges into one and misfiles into two other cities (the company is "based nearby in South Bend" in the land-use record, and the plants wear Granger-area postal geography in directories): the military plant stands at 13200 McKinley Highway, Mishawaka, Indiana 46545 — the source address on AM General Corporation's Indiana Department of Environmental Management Part 70 operating permit (T141-6023-00031, issued 25 February 1999), for "the production of HUMMERs for military and commercial use"; and the commercial plant stands at 12900 McKinley Highway, Mishawaka — the 675,500-square-foot former AM General commercial assembly plant (Hummer H2) as the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and Area Development records give it in the SF Motors (2018) and Electric Last Mile (2020) transactions. Both plants are in Mishawaka civil ground, east of the CDP; neither is in Granger, and neither is in South Bend. Any telling that seats "the Hummer plant" in Granger or South Bend, or at a single merged address, fails against the permit record, and is corrected here at the strength of that record.
