The Jefferson County Port Authority took a good step toward helping to restore jobs in the region Wednesday when it agreed to help JSW Steel finance improvement projects at the Mingo Junction facility.
Members of the port authority’s board approved a nonbinding reimbursement resolution which will allow it to be a conduit issuer for $42 million in bonds which will help cover the expenses of the work.
JSW, which bought the plant in 2018, is looking to modernize the facility’s electric arc furnace and make improvements to its caster line, moves which will allow it be a competitive player in the steel industry.

STEUBENVILLE The Jefferson County Port Authority had a lengthy discussion with representatives from JSW Steel at Wednesday’s meeting of the board of directors in relation to the company’s work to modernize the facility in Mingo Junction.
One of the things discussed was the port authority being a bond conduit, with that process, the project and the broader picture of the company detailed by JSW Steel’s reps.
Following the discussion, the board approved a reimbursement resolution, which port authority Executive Director Robert Naylor said is non-binding on both parties.
“It’s essentially giving them our assurance at this time we would like to be a part of JSW and have them in our county and help them with what we could,” Greg Nemeth, board chairman, said during the discussion.
SIR – Your Leading Article (December 16) is absolutely right.
Trust in people’s common sense. The vast majority will do what is right. The usual suspects will be irresponsible regardless.

SIR – You report that two leading medical journals have criticised the Government’s stance on Christmas.
Readers should understand that the Health Service Journal is actually a magazine for NHS managers. The British Medical Journal, meanwhile, is partly a peer-reviewed publication, but in recent years has also published political comment. Most of this has been critical of government policy (no matter which party is in power), and both journals could be said to share the view that the NHS runs the country.
