For the last couple of weeks I have seen the doors open and people inside the Ford Wixom plant. But I have not read any stories about what is or may be happening with it. Has anyone heard what is going on there?

I have heard that they are putting in a complex of different green oriented companies (i.e. battery makers or researcher, electric cars, windmills etc. I do not remember the details, but it is going to be a bunch of different companies with room for more. I think that they have two or three companies already lined up to move in there. Ford may be using part of it as well. There is a news article out there from sometime this past year. Maybe someone will find a link for you.

Here's part of an article from Ford themselves and may be about a year old .

Ford Motor Company's idled Wixom Assembly Plant will be redeveloped into one of the nation's largest renewable energy manufacturing parks
Ford has reached an agreement in principle to sell Wixom Assembly Plant to Xtreme Power of Austin, Texas, and Clairvoyant Energy of Santa Barbara, Calif., which will manufacture energy storage systems and high-efficiency solar panels at the site
Clairvoyant Energy and Xtreme Power plan an initial investment of $725 million to redevelop the 320-acre site and its 4.7 million square feet of plant space. The renewable energy manufacturing park is expected to create more than 4,000 jobs on site and in the surrounding area, as well as support thousands of indirect jobs
Over the past nine months, Ford has worked with Clairvoyant Energy, Xtreme Power and state and local officials on a redevelopment plan for Wixom Assembly that will provide significant economic development for Michigan, and that is consistent with Ford's commitment to environmental sustainability
