So I guess that will employ some dock workers in Mobile too (although I can’t say that I’m a longshoreman’s union fan -— but their kids need braces too).

Thanks for posting the details on the deal. I read a little blurb about it on Instapundit the other day, but I had not seen the numbers involved.

Gotta love it. Heavy, relatively clean industry.

They're building some new docking facilities to accommodate the uniqueness of the material, etc. The metal will be off-loaded from the ships at Mobile and moved up river to the factory on barges.

A major accomplishment for a county that is less than 400,000 population. The whole state has a population less than Houston, Texas.

This area is booming.
