Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) went to the House floor this afternoon to commend the Ford Motor Company for its commitment to invest $5.6 billion to build a 3,600-acre mega campus, Blue Oval City, on the Memphis Regional Megasite in Haywood County. The campus will include the Ford assembly plant, a supplier park and a battery manufacturing plant to produce the company’s F-series all-electric trucks. The investment is expected to create 5,800 new jobs.
In his remarks, Congressman Cohen said in part:
“We’re happy and proud that Ford picked this site for these jobs and for this important environmental effort to have batteries for vehicles and electric trucks. We think Ford will be a great representative in Memphis…I appreciate Ford coming to Memphis.”
