Chuck Thelen of Gotion Inc. is hosting his second “Chat with Chuck” virtual town hall meeting on Tuesday, May 14, at 7 p.m. to provide residents with an update on the proposed battery components facility in Green Charter Township and answer any questions. 

Residents can access the town hall meeting at this link. The meetings can include project announcements, guests from the local community, subject matter experts from Gotion Inc. and other information.

“After last month’s meeting, some people suggested that a later start time would be more convenient for greater participation, so we bumped back the time by one hour and will begin at 7 p.m.,” said Thelen, vice president of Gotion Inc. – North American Manufacturing. “It’s all about being transparent and open to the community, so we're always willing to adjust the time to fit people’s busy schedules. We had phenomenal positive feedback on our first-ever meeting, and I’m excited to answer additional questions this month.”

More than 105 people joined the virtual meeting in April, and Thelen answered questions that included what materials will be used at the plant, how the facility will encourage additional economic development in the region, and when the facility will officially open. Hundreds of more people viewed the meeting after it was later shared on social media.

"It was great to see such a strong turnout and thoughtful questions last month,” Thelen said. “Everyone is encouraged to tune into our virtual town hall meeting to learn more about the exciting developments at the plant.”
