Saab Invests in Royal Oak


With Jennifer Granholm and Royal Oak Mayor Jim Ellison working together, the City of Royal Oak will benefit from a new Saab headquarters location. Saab has decided to invest $2.4 Million in establishing their new headquarters in Royal Oak. With a significant tax break from the State of Michigan ($1.2 Million over 5 years) and a $29,000 tax break from the City of Royal Oak, Saab will move here with ease. Along with the new headquarters, Saab has announced that they will be increasing their staff by hiring 60 new employees.
