A Look Back At GM's North Tarrytown (Sleepy Hollow) Assembly Plant - GM Authority (blog)
The site of GM’s former North Tarrytown Assembly plant will soon be redeveloped into retail, residential and public space. We thought we’d have a look at the plant’s long history before the space that housed it would be turned into retail and housing space later this year. Located on the eastern bank of the Hudson River, about 25 miles (40 km) north of midtown Manhattan in New York City, the North Tarrytown plant didn’t belong to GM at first. But when GM acquired Chevrolet in 1918, The General also inherited the Tarrytown plant. The last vehicles manufactured at the plant were GM’s second-generation minivans — the Chevrolet Lumina APV, Pontiac TranSport, and Oldsmobile Silhouette triplets. In closing Tarrytown Assembly, GM moved production of the minivans to its Doraville Assembly plant in Georgia, which was also shuttered shortly after. The plant was demolished in the summer of 1999, and the land that housed the plant — known today as Lighthouse Landing — was acquired in late 2014 by Diversified Realty Advisors and SunCal for $39. 5 million.
