Local Ford plant to be furloughed; faces uncertain future

The local St. Paul Ford plant that makes the Ford Ranger faces an uncertain future as they announce a 2 week furlough beginning Jan. 31. Rumor has it that the St. Paul plant is on the list that Ford plants to close this year. Sales of Rangers have been in decline for quite sometime. Lawmakers and the Governor have lobbied Ford to keep the plant open and offered incentives. Ford has not officially commented on whether the plant will close and has said that a final decision has not been reached.
