DETROIT (AP) - Ford Motor Co. said Monday it will close its casting plant in Brook Park, Ohio, near Cleveland in 2009. The plant employs 1,218 hourly and salaried workers.
The company also will shutter Cleveland Engine Plant 1 in Brook Park for at least a year starting in two weeks. It employs 577 workers. A second engine plant at the complex just west of Cleveland will remain open.
The casting plant is the 10th facility to be closed as part of Ford's "Way Forward" restructuring plan in which the company said it would close 16 facilities by 2012. The company already had announced nine of the closures.
