Ford to invest $2 billion in Michigan and create 3,200 jobs

Ford Motor will invest $2 billion and create 3,200 new jobs in Michigan as it looks forward to increasing electric vehicle production, the automaker said on Thursday.

Gabby Bruno, a Ford official, said during Michigan Strategic Fund state meeting that the 3,200 new jobs included 2,000 at the Dearborn, Flat Rock and Wayne assembly plants.

The investment will support the rising production of Ford’s F-150 EV lighting and assembly of a new Ranger pickup truck and a new Mustang.

The automaker also plans to build a new parts packaging facility in Monroe County.
