New steel facility to locate in Lowndes County
 

About 65 jobs and a $25 million investment soon could be on its way to the Golden Triangle Industrial Park, members of the Lowndes County Board of Supervisors said this morning.


Texas-based New Process Steel recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the Golden Triangle Planning and Development District outlining plans to locate a flat rolled steel manufacturing plant next to the Severstal steel mill off Airport Road in western Lowndes County.


"We got a memorandum of understanding from New Process to proceed with the project," GTPDD Project Analyst George Crawford told the board Tuesday morning. "They will create 65 full-time jobs, and they will invest $25 million in the county."


Lowndes County and Golden Triangle economic development officials are seeking a $1.6 million Community Development Block Grant to help fund the plant's construction. If the grant is awarded, Lowndes County will provide a $180,000 match, bringing the grant total to about $1.8 million, Crawford said.


"They are ready to start the project as soon as the grant comes through," Crawford said. "I will prep the application and get it out as soon as I can."

Great to see another industrial expansion. The progress of the last five years is nothing short of amazing, with more to come. Keep those tax dollars coming in.

That is the same company. Hopefully they will make it this time. I wonder if it fell through because severcorr went bye bye and severstall came in.
