Lima seen choice for jobs snubbed by Brook Park
Ford Motor Co. appears to have ruled out its Brook Park three plant complex for the new V-6 engine, signaling Lima as a potential site instead. UAW Local 1250 had rejected a concession package, and officials say Brook Park could lose the engine work to Lima or Windsor. The Brook Park complex employs about 8,000 workers, while Lima, a newer plant, has about 1,400.
