What happened
U.S. Steel broke ground on a $1.9 billion Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) production facility at its Big River Steel Works in Osceola, Arkansas. This facility links iron ore production in Minnesota to Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) driven steelmaking in Arkansas. The investment is intended to support next-generation steelmaking and a robust American supply chain.
