Whitmer: Michigan Wasn't Given Shot At New Ford EV Plants
(CBS DETROIT) - Here are Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's first thoughts on Ford's $11 billion investment outside of Michigan.
Whitmer says she always looks for ways for Michigan to be competitive, but the state wasn't given a 'real opportunity' with these new electric vehicle plants.
These comments come after Ford announced the investment of $11.4 billion into two new electric vehicle plants, one in Kentucky and one in Tennessee.
Ford did pledge $250 million to its existing plants in the Metro Area exactly two weeks ago.
