Ford to resume building Michigan electric vehicle battery plant delayed by strike, but scale it back (msn.com)

It's most likely this will be dragged out in the courts for decades to come.

Sounds like Farley put his foot in his mouth on that one.

Perhaps this idiot governor never heard of the commerce clause. Another dope mandating things they know nothing about.

This would be a good fit for Flat Rock.

The more butts you have behind the wheel of a Ford vehicle the better. If folks go to Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, etc because they can't get what they want from Ford, they may never come back.

I knew when BOC was announced Dearborn would loose the Lightning. With the third shift being added at MAP and a possible new product at Flat Rock, I'm sure those workers will not have a hard time being placed.

And Romeo Engine as well. I read that some closed plants like the old Monroe Stamping plant and the Ford/ Visteon plant in Milan, Michigan are so contaminated that Ford just ended up using them as warehouses instead of selling them.

Wixom was a waste. A lot of the property is a brownfield and Ford still has a landfill there. Most if the property is undeveloped.

I wonder what "surplus" means?

I think it was under Dearborn Engine in the Highlighter.

They moved stamping ops to Woodhaven up the street so there's room for another body shop.

It all depends on what the proposed new product will be.

And we're probably talking hundreds of millions of dollars more. $50 million would not be enough for a facelift.

But Ford agreed to allow the UAW to strike over plant closings. Not sure the company wants to try to cross that line.
