Alliance Steel Plans Move to Gary
Written by Tim Triplett
Andy Gross is placing a big bet on his company and on a new community—a wager he is confident will pay off. The president of Alliance Steel is making a $19 million investment to move his service center operation some 40 miles east from Chicago’s south side to Gary, Ind. He hopes to be operational in the new location by December 2019.
Like many long-time steel towns, Gary has struggled to rebound from a consolidating steel industry that has cost the community thousands of good-paying jobs over the years. Alliance hopes to be an early ally in Gary’s economic recovery. “Northwest Indiana and Gary are making all the right moves to recreate a very promising industrial area,” Gross said. Alliance expects to receive a $1.4 million incentive package from the city.
