Ford Motor Company will build a $3.5-billion electric vehicle battery plant in Marshall. CEO Jim Farley says the area was the best choice.
“When you make a complicated decision like this on a site, the whole package, Michigan was really the clear leader,” Farely said.
Farley, executive chairman Bill Ford and Governor Gretchen Whitmer made the announcement Monday. The land where the factory will be built is currently a farm and has access to I-94, I-69, and railroad lines. The jobs will pay between $20 and $50 an hour and production will start in 2026.
