Gov. Bill Lee speaks at the Ford BlueOval City event in 2021.

Canadian parts manufacturer Magna plans to invest nearly $800 million and hire about 1,300 people in Tennessee as it builds out manufacturing and assembly facilities to support Ford’s BlueOval City project in West Tennessee.

According to a release, Magna will build the first two supplier facilities at Ford’s BlueOval City, underway on a state-developed industrial campus. Magna will also build a separate stamping and assembling facility in Lawrenceburg.
