New $2B Ford investment aims to bring 2,100 jobs back to stalled Hardin County plants

Ford will invest $2 billion in Hardin County's former BlueOval SK facilities, creating at least 2,100 new jobs.
The jobs will be in manufacturing energy storage systems, according to Beshear's remarks.
The plan follows earlier infrastructure investments and tax incentives tied to the Glendale plant, which faced layoffs after production scaled back.
State and local leaders funded major upgrades to support the battery plant and its workforce.
Ford says laid-off Glendale workers will have the opportunity to apply for these new jobs.
The announcement was delivered in Governor Beshear's weekly Team Kentucky address.
The BlueOval SK project in Glendale faced layoffs after production began, influencing recent workforce plans.
Hardin County's involvement included $1.6 million in federal relief funds for plant-related projects.
Kentucky previously invested $250 million to attract BlueOval SK to the state.
Beshear calls the Ford partnership a long-standing and successful one for Kentucky.
The city of Glendale's BlueOval SK plant was a focal point of Kentucky's investment strategy.
