The proposed plant will be in Flat Rock MI, about 20 miles South of Detroit. Looks to be part of an existing Ford area.
I think that’s the plant Mazda gave up on.
Flat Rock was original the Michigan Casting Center which was the most advanced in the world, but became obsolete with the decline in V8 engines. Mazda built a new plant there which later became a joint venture called AutoAlliance Int’l. The Mazda MX-6 and Ford Probe were built there, later the 626 and Cougar,and most recently the Fusion, Mustang and Continental. The latest plans were to build an electric SUV and an automous vehicle aimed at “ride hailing or ride sharing” at Flat Rock.
Lots of history.
