MARSHALL, MI ( WTVB) – The Michigan Court of Appeals has upheld zoning for the BlueOval Battery Park Michigan, clearing a path for production to begin this summer in Marshall.
This decision validates local officials’ actions, securing a project expected to create 1,700 jobs and has already employed over 2,000 construction workers.
As Marshall’s largest industrial property owner, Ford will contribute an estimated $5 million annually in property taxes, aiding economic revitalization efforts.
Marshall mayor Scott Wolfersberger also applauded the court’s decision this week, saying “Ford’s BlueOval project has been a huge boost for the community and the entire region”. Wolfersberger says ” Marshall has new hotels that are being built and new businesses that are opening, and the downtown is seeing investment and revitalization at levels not seen in decades”.
