U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement after Ford announced a $1.2 billion investment in three Michigan manufacturing facilities, including plans to invest $850 million in the Michigan Assembly Plant and $200 million for an advanced data center at Flat Rock to support production of connected, autonomous and electrified vehicles. 

“Today’s announcement is further proof of Ford’s commitment to producing in Michigan and the United States. Ford’s roots run deep in Michigan’s 12th District, and these investments bolster the company’s dedication to building its highest-tech vehicles here in the U.S. and strengthen its commitment to American workers, who are the best in the world. Ford’s announcement of a new advanced data center at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant also further positions the company as a leader in the future of mobility, including the development of connected and automated vehicles which have the potential to improve safety and save lives. This is a day to celebrate U.S. manufacturing as it continues to grow and evolve and support American jobs, and pledge to continue working together to keep Michigan and the U.S. at the forefront of innovation and technology.”
