https://www.wreg.com/news/mid-south/gov-lee-ford-officials-in-memphis-to-announce-major-new-electric-vehicle-plant-in-west-tennessee/


Ford will invest $5.6 billion in the Haywood County site in rural West Tennessee to build a 3,600-acre campus called Blue Oval City. The manufacturing plant is expected to directly create 5,800 jobs, with thousands more expected, according to state officials.

Production of next generation all-electric F-Series trucks and battery components is expected to begin at the site, about 30 miles northeast of the Memphis city limit, in 2025.

There will be a truck manufacturing plant and a battery manufacturing plant at the same site.

Glad to see Tennessee getting more jobs. I bet the UAW is foaming at the mouth.

Home prices in my area of West TN already going nuts, now everything will go higher. Finding workers will be fun.

Im thinking about selling and heading further east when the plant gets here. Neighboring land has an asking price of 11.5k already.

I’d say there are probably plenty of people who might want the jobs cause the pay for that area will probably be good. That said that potential vaccine mandates might fuck them hard.
