Plan proposed to save Ford plant in Columbus clash on rezoning
Columbus leaders moved to keep Ford Motor Co in the city after the council rejected rezoning for a 402 acre north side site. Councilman Dewet Garner proposed a plan tying the plant to a ban on cheap housing, a Morse Road expressway, no beer joints, and strong nuisance controls while keeping 3,000 jobs and a multi million payroll in the area. Ford showed interest in the north side tract only and would consider alternate sites.
