Elizabethtown bet big on Ford's EV battery plant as its economic future, but the plant has now closed. That means lost jobs, a hole in the city's tax revenue, and tough questions about what comes next.

Impact analysis
The city loses the tax revenue and payroll it counted on from the plant, and any local incentives or infrastructure spending tied to it may be stranded.
Competing cities and states that didn't put all their eggs in one plant may gain an edge in recruiting workers and businesses.
Plant workers, local businesses that served them, and city taxpayers who now face a tighter budget are the big losers.
