Investivoq CongressRadar

Moolenaar says Gotion settled a lawsuit after residents rejected its Michigan plant plan amid CCP-ties concerns.

Investivoq AI Summary

Statement on Gotion settlement: Congressman John Moolenaar said Gotion reached a settlement agreement in its lawsuit against Green Charter Township, describing the company as tied to the Chinese Communist Party. He said the township had rejected the project and that the community had “stopped” the company from getting “a foothold” there.

Background on the project: The release says Gotion had planned a battery component factory in Mecosta County after a 2022 announcement by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. It says residents of Green Charter Township later voted out trustees who supported the project, and that state officials notified Gotion in 2025 that it was in default on grant obligations.

Political response: The release says Moolenaar worked with local leaders to examine Gotion’s ties to its Chinese parent company and backed federal restrictions on taxpayer funding for CCP-affiliated companies. It also says Michigan taxpayers would not receive restitution from state subsidies the company had been asked to repay.
