Local Meeting About Battery Plant Moves On Line to Avoid Outside Agitators

A major Michigan megasite project faces ongoing questions about the company’s Chinese ownership
A local official said a public meeting on the project was shifted online out of fear outsiders would disrupt the event
The township supervisor said ‘internet rumors’ about the project are driving the statewide interest
One of Michigan’s largest economic development announcements in 2022 originated in Mecosta County, where the Big Rapids area learned it had been chosen by Gotion Inc. for a $2.36 billion electric vehicle battery factory.

Given what seems to be going down the township supervisor seems to really have his head screwed on right. He is trying to make sure that local issues are covered so that the residents can get their questions answered. He has been around long enough, he talks about a different plant being located in his township 20 years ago, with some people angry, that he knows the drill.

I wonder if the objectors watch via their iPads and HP laptops.
