Gerken delays resolution on Maumee plant loan

Lucas County Commissioner Pete Gerken is temporarily withdrawing a resolution for a loan to the firm that proposes taking over the shuttered Ford stamping plant in Maumee.

In a memo to his two fellow commissioners, Mr. Gerken said he needs more information from Maumee Authority Stamping Inc. before he can promote the company’s request for a $1.5 million county loan.

The proposal was the subject of commission discussion a week ago.

“I am not ready to move forward with the resolution that I requested to have on the agenda for [today],” Mr. Gerken wrote to Commissioners Ben Konop and Tina Skeldon Wozniak yesterday.

Mr. Gerken said he will place the proposal on a future commission agenda, no sooner than Sept. 9.

Keith Obey, a former executive of the Ford plant who has worked for a year to reopen it, could not be reached for comment last night.
