Ypsilanti Ford Addition: Visible at the lower left in this aerial view of the Ford Motor Company's Ypsilanti plant is an 87,000-square-foot addition to the plant, now under construction. The addition will provide warehouse space for the plant, freeing other parts of the plant now being used for warehouse space for additional manufacturing facilities. The plant is part of Ford's General Parts Division and manufactures starters, generators, voltage regulators, ignition coils, shock absorbers, master brake cylinders, heaters, and horns.

City Dump's Future Limited: Ypsilanti's city dump, located north of the US-12 Expressway and east of S. Huron St., may be closed to non-city users in the near future unless a solution to the city's future rubbish disposal problem is found soon. The city is negotiating with the Ford Motor Co. about a possible expansion of the dump area to the east (right, above). "Nobody's happy" with the present dump operation, City Manager Olaf R. Pearson said in outlining plans to secure a new sanitary fill site, possibly to serve both the city and Ypsilanti township.
