"We are building the future right here in West Tennessee"
– Eric Grubb, Ford’s director of new footprint construction
Ford Motor Company is developing BlueOval City, a state-of-the-art manufacturing complex in Stanton, Tennessee.
Key Aspects of BlueOval City:
- Investment and Scale Ford, in collaboration with SK Innovation, is investing $5.6 billion in the 4,100-acre campus, making it the largest single investment in Tennessee's history. The facility is expected to create approximately 6,000 jobs upon its scheduled opening, and 27,000 jobs in the surrounding area.
- Production Capabilities The complex will manufacture Ford's next-generation electric truck, codenamed Project T3, with an anticipated annual production capacity of 500,000 trucks at full operation.
- Sustainability Initiatives Designed to be carbon neutral with zero waste to landfill, BlueOval City reflects Ford's dedication to sustainable manufacturing practices.
- Community Engagement: Ford is actively engaging with local educational institutions to provide training opportunities, aiming to integrate the community into the evolving automotive industry. Ground-breaking has been completed on the Ford Community Center in Stanton in 2024, and will “offer a collaborative space for nonprofits, community members, and local leaders to support long-term residents.
- Support Services Recognizing the needs of its workforce, a YMCA Early Learning Center near the campus will offer childcare services for employees. Construction has already been completed on a massive $40M on-site campus where Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) will educate thousands of future site workers.
