The Marshall Area Economic Development Alliance is partnering with Ford and local organizations to create a greenspace plan for the city of Marshall and areas near the BlueOval Battery Park Michigan facility and the Marshall Area Jobs, Opportunity and Recreation (MAJOR) Campus, according to a community announcement.

When Ford announced plans for BlueOval Battery Park Michigan in 2023, the project included a large conservation easement along the north side of the Kalamazoo River. MAEDA is also working to preserve the nearby 36-acre Bear Creek historical property, which could feature a park and trail connecting to a new pedestrian path over I-69 and future recreational trails on the MAJOR Campus.
