When Batavia Township trustees met Tuesday, Dec. 1, they heard about the most recent developments in the Ford plant sale from Clermont County Administrator Dave Spinney.

“I wanted to report to the board where we stand with the project so far,” said Spinney. “Negotiations continue between Ford and IRG (Industrial Realty Group). IRG has been negotiating with Ford for over a year to purchase the property. Ford Motor Company is extremely anxious to sell the property.”

According to Spinney, IRG will be using Ohio Enterprise bonds issued by the State Department of Development to help in the purchase of the property.
