Pacific Steel Group celebrated the groundbreaking on March 5 of California’s first steel mill in 50 years, a project Gov. Gavin Newsom called “one of the cleanest mills in the world.”
The 500,000-square-foot Mojave Micro Mill planned for Kern County is expected to create nearly 700 jobs for electricians, millwrights, welders, computer system operators, and other workers, according to the governor’s office.
