Production of the next generation of Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS, the company's flagship sedans, is expected to move to Michigan's Flat Rock plant in a couple of years, providing security and maybe even more jobs than the 1,400 people to be hired for a current expansion, the Free Press has learned.
The exact number of new jobs is not yet known, but Flat Rock will become Ford's central hub for midsize and full-size cars. That marks a sharp contrast from a year ago, when the factory was barely able to keep one shift busy making the Ford Mustang and the Mazda6. There were fears among workers that the plant, formerly known as AutoAlliance International, might be scrapped or sold off.
