On September 29, 2026, Ford CEO Jim Farley, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced Michigan LIFT, a public-private partnership to onshore advanced manufacturing. Ford committed $1 billion in purchasing from Michigan companies. JPMorgan, the anchor capital provider under its Security and Resiliency Initiative, has since committed $10 billion to direct investing in security and resiliency, and the initiative now covers 29 industries. The discussion has centered on supply chain resiliency, skilled trades and whether the model can be replicated in other states.
