Ford EV Battery Plant Rides Bumpy Road in This Michigan Town.

Ford Motor's proposed $3.5 billion electric vehicle (EV) battery plant in Marshall, Michigan, has faced opposition from local residents and experienced setbacks. The project, which was expected to create 2,500 jobs, was paused by Ford in September and later resumed in a scaled-down version in November. The plant would use licensed technology from Chinese battery manufacturer CATL, which has raised concerns among opponents. While proponents highlight the potential economic benefits and job creation, the project's future remains uncertain. [Extracted from the article]
