'FIRED FOR THE HOLIDAYS' Ford Lays Off Entire Factory As Job Market Collapses, Corporate Abandonment

[Bayard]

3. I've never heard of Fairfield, KY

The plant is in Sonora. My general area. Most of the people who have been working there are not locals. The execs moving to the area, or perceived they will be, have driven up the price of real estate considerably though. Even the place where the plant sits, was a big farm (I'm sure he made millions.) There's other farmland being bought up to build houses on all around there. They've added another lane to the highway there. Its pretty sad, actually.

Its going to hit Kentucky like a ton of rocks. Gov. Beshear is already having talks with Ford about how to make the best of the situation. He works really hard to bring business to our state, and he's done a great job of it.
