Construction of the facility is in full swing with hundreds of workers in and around the site, providing an incredible economic boost to the community. Hundreds of construction workers are visiting area businesses and dining at local restaurants.
In July, the Marshall Township Fire Department firefighters moved into their new station as the Township has taken ownership of the facility. The station’s move allows road improvements to continue near the site of Ford’s BlueOval Battery Park Michigan. Details about the new station are included in this press release.
In 2026, Ford’s BlueOval Battery Park Michigan is expected to begin producing batteries for electric vehicles. It is located on 500 acres of the Marshall Area Jobs, Opportunities and Recreation (MAJOR) Campus, which has 2,000 acres for future businesses.
Ford is committed to being a good neighbor and recently announced a $25,000 donation to the city of Marshall to support its efforts to plant new trees throughout the city to earn Tree City USA recognition once again.
