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.
