Yarmuth Statement on Ford’s Announcement About Louisville Manufacturing
Plants
Congressman John Yarmuth
Representing Kentucky’s 3rd Congressional District
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Yarmuth Statement on Ford’s Announcement About Louisville Manufacturing
Plants
(Washington, DC) Today, Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3) issued the following
statement regarding Ford’s announcement of a new 0 million investment to
re-tool its Louisville Assembly Plant and hire hundreds of new workers to build
the next-generation Ford Escape.
“I was proud to stand with Ford and the UAW as we worked to secure the federal
resources that helped make this day possible and I am prouder still to continue
our efforts to create jobs and revitalize manufacturing in Louisville.” said
Congressman Yarmuth. “Today’s announcement is a clear sign that Ford is in
Louisville to stay and will play a critical part in the growth of our local
economy for years to come.”
In September of 2009, Ford secured a .9 billion loan as part of the federal
government’s Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program. This
program provides funding to help auto companies produce cars in the U.S. that
increase fuel economy standards. In 2008, Congressman Yarmuth fought for
continued funding for this program to encourage retooling of existing plants to
produce the next generation of vehicles and supported Ford’s efforts to
re-tool LAP.
The Loan Program was created by the Energy Independence and Security Act of
2007, which Congressman Yarmuth supported during his first year in Congress.
