Seven Hundred Million Dollar Investment

North Star BlueScope Steel in Delta has made the largest single investment in the history of Fulton County with a $700 million expansion. The investment will increase the plant’s steelmaking capacity to 3.3 million tons per year while creating 90 additional positions, primarily in the fields of electrical, mechanical, and operational capacities. “Twenty-five years ago, we made a $550 million investment to build in this community. Looking back, it was a great decision for us,” Joe Budion, North Star’s VP of Finance, said of the expansion. “The community and North Star have supported each other to create the most successful steel mill in North America.”
