HAYWOOD COUNTY, Tennessee – Work is scheduled to begin on Blue Oval City in March, following a groundbreaking ceremony in March.
Ford’s Blue Oval City was originally announced in September 2021, as a new, sprawling complex set to be built in Stanton, Tennessee.
The automaker will produce electric vehicles, including a next-generation electric Ford F-Series model, which will ride on its own dedicated platform, as well as batteries, while also housing suppliers and creating around 6,000 much-needed new jobs.
Ford estimates it will need around 30,000 temporary construction workers for its 4,100-acre site at the Memphis Regional Megasite near Brownsville.
After receiving approval for an incentive package from the state, FoMoCo is searching for suppliers, while Ford Blue Oval City is already on the map.
The automaker has announced that Detroit-based Walbridge, will be the lead contractor for its new complex.
A ceremonial groundbreaking will be held this summer.
