Yes, the GM Proving Ground in Milford, Michigan is still in operation.

Unfortunately, the GM Desert Proving Ground in Mesa Arizona has recently been closed, after a protracted delay of about 9 years. A smaller activity has been relocated to Yuma Arizona and is just now getting fired up.

I visited the DPG fairly regularly from about 1986-1989 and was stationed there from 1990-1994.
