Borgman is proud to represent Ford, who has recently teamed up with 3M to develop much-needed powered respirators for healthcare workers. In response to the COVID-19 epidemic, the medical field in the United States has found itself in a shortage of protective equipment for workers, especially in Michigan. Ford and 3M developed a prototype for a powered respirator and brought it to production inside of 40 days. This was thanks in part to the nearly 90 paid volunteers from the UAW at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant right here in Michigan.. 

Borgman Ford is proud to stand beside Ford, who in a time of crisis is again stepping up to the plate to do their part. In a new partnership with General Electric, Ford will be mass-producing ventilators to help patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms recover. Ford also has the support of the United Auto Workers Union and expects to produce 50,000 ventilators in Michigan within 100 days. Production is expected to start at their Rawsonville Plant on April 20th, and once fully ramped up, Ford expects to be producing 30,000 ventilators a month.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Grandville High School to test drive a New Ford!

During the Ford Drive 4 UR School Event on Saturday, October 20th, lots of people in the community came over and took a New Ford out for a spin. For every person who did, Ford pledged $20 to the band program, and an extra $10 if they went out again in the New Ford Fusion. Your support really made a huge difference!

Borgman Ford in Grand Rapids, MI is very eager to see what Ford's plans are for the historic Michigan Station in Corktown, Detroit. After the last train left the station in 1988, the station was ultimately abandoned and became something of a canvas for local graffiti artists to hone their craft.

After Ford acquired the building, much of this artwork has cracked and fallen to the floors of the lobby and hallways, or otherwise degraded. Ford enlisted the help of local women's' organization Rebel Nell to collect some of this fallen artwork and transform the fragments into beautiful…

Borgman Ford Urges Grand Rapids & West Michigan Residents to Share Thoughts on Transportation

Borgman Ford has been serving the Grand Rapids and West Michigan community since 1960, and in that time we've had the unique pleasure of watching the city grow.

However, as more people flock here, the fastest-growing city in Michigan, issues with public transportation, traffic flow, parking, crosswalks, and other infrastructure have become more pronounced. The good news is, Ford is offering help.

We're happy to share that Grand…
