Avon Lake Ohio Ford plant names Ronald Reaves as new manufacturing manager replacing Deborah Coleman who moves to Dearborn as quality director of vehicle operations. Coleman, the first African American woman to lead a Ford plant, sparked industry headlines in 1994 as Deborah Kent. Local union officials caution about Lorain plant implications for Avon Lake amid ongoing contract talks and possible Econoline work shifts.
Ford officials assured United Auto Workers Local 425 president Bill Allen and Lorain plant leaders that the Lorain Assembly will not close.

State officials led by the Voinovich administration pledged to back Lorain County areas in urging Ford to retain the Toledo Jeep plant and safeguard jobs. Local business leaders doubted a shuttering, noting a new plant manager, a recent union contract, and 95 percent staffing targets while warning of possible unemployment rises if the plant closes.
