Times-Leader, 3/7/2017

Part of the plant now is occupied by fracking sludge recycler Austin Master Services. 

Ohio Coatings also stores steel coils there. At one time the plant employed more than 2,000 people. 

Wheeling businessman Quay Mull purchased the former mill for $2 million during RG Steel’s bankruptcy sale in 2012.
