Plans detail Ford Louisville Assembly Plant expansion as it prepares for EV production
A development plan filed with the city provides some detailed insight into an expansion of Ford Motor Co.'s Louisville Assembly Plant. In a letter submitted to Louisville Metro Planning and Design Services on June 2, architecture firm Luckett & Farley said there are three building projects planned for LAP, at 2000 Fern Valley Road. The three projects would create 52,000 square feet of new building development, according to records filed with the city. The first project would include a 10,000-square-foot addition to an existing space to create six new dock positions and three replacement docks. To accomplish this, the existing employee parking and truck paths will be rerouted. A second project will bring an electric vehicle charging station to the plant that includes 12,000 square feet of canopy to shelter 16 charging units and a substation, according to the records. Another 30,000-square-foot addition of dock space will also take place at LAP. More: Ford Louisville Assembly Plant to undergo retooling, possible worker layoffs. What to know Earlier this year, UAW Local 862 President Todd Dunn who represents workers at LAP and the Kentucky Truck Plant, told The Courier Journal the factory would undergo retooling, a standard renovation operation used when a facility transitions from making one type of vehicle to another, and is something LAP has experienced before. During the retooling, LAP workers will be temporarily laid off, Dunn said. It remains unclear how long workers will be laid off and when exactly the retooling process is expected to start. Additionally, Ford has yet to release details on what new EV product will be made at LAP. To date, Ford has not confirmed the retooling. This development at LAP comes as a result of the 2023 UAW and Ford national master agreement, reached after a weekslong strike at Ford plants across the U.S., including at Ford's larger Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville. The labor contract specifically committed a $1.2 billion investment for LAP over the life of the four-year agreement. It will bring the end of production to both the Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair after 2025, and LAP will transition to producing an "all-new EV product," The Courier Journal previously reported. In 2023, International UAW President Shawn Fain and Dunn in Louisville repeatedly told The Courier Journal that securing a future of product at LAP was crucial to reaching a contract agreement. LAP is one of three Ford assembly plants with a committed EV product in the 2023 labor agreement. A Ford spokesperson called the plans "a routine filing to enable the reworking of some loading docks." Reporter Connor Giffin contributed to this report.
