## Resource

Ford’s pouring a cool $1 billion into its Kentucky Truck Plant to build a state-of-the-art paint shop—set to debut by year’s end—that’ll slash emissions, boost paint quality, and crank up efficiency. This upgrade is part of Ford’s broader push to modernize its Kentucky operations, where trucks roll off the line every 45 seconds. The investment signals strong support for American manufacturing and the local workforce, reinforcing Ford’s century-long commitment to the state. Meanwhile, Ford’s also prepping its Louisville plant for EVs, while this project alone will fuel Kentucky’s economy and create ripple effects across thousands of jobs and suppliers.
