It was a great summer, if you recall.

Kelly Pavlik made a successful title defense, and there was nothing but good news coming out of Lordstown:

A new car. A new shift. A 30-year deal.

The cold winds have arrived, and it will be a hard day today for the valley as GM announces massive cuts.

We're told the news includes at least 1,100 job cuts at Lordstown. (Approximately 1,400 jobs arrived over the summer. So we still have a net gain. At least for now.)

Stick with vindy.com all day and into the evening as we update this story all day.

Five staffers are working on the story now. More will join in once we get more information.
