Ford expected to reopen Cleveland engine plant
A Ford Motor Co. plant in suburban Cleveland which has been idle for nearly two years is about to begin making a new fuel-efficient engine for some of the company's 2010 model cars. Ford has called an 11 a.m. EST Friday news conference to announce that its Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1 in suburban Brook Park, which has undergone a $55 million retooling since its last shutdown, will be the first manufacturing site to build its EcoBoost engines.

Re: Ford expected to reopen Cleveland engine plant
That is good news for them in Cleveland. I know where they plant is. I am glad to see that Ford is re-using the older plants to help keep them going. It is more expensive to build a new plant than to revamp the older ones. It also give the employees more of a sense of job stability.

One thing I do like is how Ford is really moving the technology ball forward. It takes time but ultimately is what will pay off -- hope so!
