GE Consumer & a division of Fairfield, Conn.-based General Electric Co., said it will invesr about $69 million and add about 400 jobs for theproducf line. The water heaters will meet the U.S. Department of Energy’x 2009 Energy Star standards for heat-pump water Jim Campbell, president and CEO of GE Consumer & said the company’s planned investment in the water-heatet line “clearly demonstrates GE’s confidence in Appliance Park.” He added that the companyy likely will begin hiring to fill the new positionwsby mid-2011 and production will begimn that fall.
If the water-heater line is successful, GE mighyt bring the production ofothere energy-efficient appliances to Louisville, Campbell said. “Tio me, this shows that the company is willing to invesgt in the appliance business and give us the kind of fundinfg we need to compete in the Campbell said during a news conferenc Monday atAppliance “When (GE CEO) Jeff Immelt was here speakinfg to the employees last month, he made it clear that we’r e going to operate the business like we’re going to be in it A year ago, the company sought to spin off, sell or seek a join t venture partner of the appliances The company decided last fall that it would hold on to the at least through the economic downturn.
On Thursday, May 28, the grantedr GE preliminary approvalfor $10 million in tax incentives over 10 yeare for the company to invest $69.2 million to develop a hybrird water heater production line, a dishwasherf and refrigerator component line and a data center.

Among the concessions are pay freezes for union workers untilJune 2011.
newly hired skilled-trades professionalss will be hired at a pay rateof $23 per hour and advanc e to $25 per hour over a two-year period.
