The 172,000-square-foot Ford plant was built in 1924-25. Henry Ford helped design the factory, which produced the company’s Model T and Model A cars.

The historic Ford Motor Co. plant is cleared for demolition.

The city issued a permit June 12 for ELEV8 Demolition to raze the 98-year-old former factory in the riverfront Talleyrand area near Downtown.

Amkin Hill Street LLC owns the property at 1900 Wambolt St., near JaxPort’s Talleyrand Marine Terminal.
