BlueOval's pivot to gas-powered trucks

from The AM/DM · host The Daily Memphian

In mid-December, Ford Motor Co. announced new plans to build affordable gas-powered pickup trucks at BlueOval City, instead of the electric trucks it had initially planned to build in West Tennessee. The change to gas-powered trucks also means West Tennessee isn't tied to the nation's shifting EV market.  So, what do people living near BlueOval think? Today, business reporter Sophia Surrett joins us to talk about the change and what it means for Stanton and Haywood County.  Plus: Southaven Intermediate School Principal April Rucker has been named the district's Administrator of the Year The University of Memphis has fired the head of its foundation Trinity Church gets donated property in Collierville A Downtown midcentury highrise was bought for more than $3M
