GM union official wants to revive home-buying incentive program

A union official wants to revive a 2008 program that offered General Motors workers incentives to buy houses locally.

The incentives of up to $1,250 were designed for workers who transferred into the local plant from out of the area.

Jim Graham, president of United Auto Workers Local 1112 in Lordstown, said he thinks a new round of incentives would encourage transfers coming to Lordstown this year to buy local homes and bring their families here.
