Big River Steel Chooses Brownsville for Next Mill
Written by Sandy Williams
Big River Steel has signed an option agreement with the Board of Commissioners of the Port of Brownsville to bring a $1.6 billion steel mill and distribution facility to south Texas.
The agreement gives Big River Steel the option to lease 800 acres between the Brownsville Ship Channel and State Highway 48. The facility will be modeled after Big River Steel’s plant in Osceola, Ark. The Brownsville plant will support 500 full-time jobs, as well as 1,500 construction jobs during the building phase.
