Where is Ford Adding a New Global Battery Center?
Ford is adding a new global battery center soon in Right to Work Michigan. So far, we know that it will be in southeast Michigan, but Ford has not yet announced the exact location. The new global battery center will be called Ford Ion Park and will also help them make more developments. They plan to further their research in carbon-neutral production and transportation, which will help reduce pollution. In order to make all of this possible, they are planning to invest a total of $185 million toward the project. So this will be a great addition to the area’s economy.
