    Texas Hoping to Lure New Steel Mill

    Written by Sandy Williams


    The State of Texas is attempting to lure a new flat rolled steel mill to the state. According to various press reports there appear to be two interested parties: Big River Steel and the E United Group out of Taiwan. 

    Is Big River Steel already planning to expand? That seems to be what the Port of Brownsville in Texas hopes. A recent article by the Brownsville Herald said that the region is one of two finalists for a $1.5 billion flex mill identical to Big River Steel’s plant in Osceola Arkansas. According to the Herald the project has been dubbed “Project America.”
