Planned EV battery plant in Detroit sparks concern from residents.

Residents in Detroit are expressing concern over plans for a $210 million electric vehicle battery factory in the city's Milwaukee Junction neighborhood. While the project is expected to bring new jobs and industrial rejuvenation, some community members feel that they were not properly informed about the project before incentives were approved. Activist group Detroit People's Platform argues that a project of this size, especially one with environmental and safety concerns, should be presented to the community before receiving approval from state and local officials. There is also disagreement between the group and the city of Detroit regarding whether the project triggers the city's community benefits ordinance, which requires developers to engage with the community and address potential negative impacts.
