As of 2012, the only active General Motors facility in 'Kansas
City' is the Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas. The
current facility replaced the older Fairfax building which was
originally a bomber assembly plant during WWII. GM took possession
of the original facility in 1947. The new Fairfax Assembly facility
was opened in 1987 on the adjacent land occupied by the runway.
The Leeds Assembly plant in Kansas City, Mo. ceased production
in April 1988 after almost 60 years of service. It is near the
Truman Sports Complex and can be seen from Interstate 435.
GM maintained a Delco Battery facility in Olathe, Kansas (Suburb
of Kansas City) It ceased to be a GM operation in the late
1980's-early 1990's.
