Senator Dick Durbin wrote a letter to the CEO of Chrysler today asking him to consider the Belvidere plant as the location for the company's planned operational expansion.

Durbin pointed out the quality workforce saying Belvidere has "some of the most skilled, efficient, and productive employees in the company."

In September the Belvidere facility hired back 850 employees due to an increase in demand for fuel-efficient vehicles.
