Ford's $5.8 Billion EV Battery Plant In Kentucky Powers Up

The $5.8 billion Glendale site currently employs about 1,450 workers and could grow to 5,000 if it reaches full capacity.

At the time, the DOE said the projects would support 5,000 construction jobs and create up to 7,500 operations jobs.
