One Month Later, Gotion Must Listen to the Will of Mecosta County Voters

Today, Congressman John Moolenaar renewed his call for Gotion, a Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-affiliated battery company, to end its plans to build a factory in Mecosta County. On November 7, Green Charter Township residents voted to recall the entire Board of Trustees that signed the initial agreement with Gotion. Then, on December 3, the newly elected members of the Green Charter Township Board of Trustees voted to rescind the community's support for the project.

“One month ago, the residents of Green Charter Township made it clear they do not want Gotion in their community. Then this week, the Township Board rescinded its support as well. Sadly, but not surprisingly, a Chinese Communist Party-affiliated company has shown little interest in listening to the will of the people. I continue to believe Gotion should listen to the results of the election and the new Board of Trustees, and cancel its plans to build in Mecosta County,” said Moolenaar.

Moolenaar is a member of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the CCP. Last month, he urged Gotion to heed the results of the election and end its plans to build in Michigan.
