The state of California is building its first new steel mill in more than 50 years, on a 174-acre site in Kern County, roughly 70 miles southeast of Bakersfield.
The mill is being built by San Diego-based Pacific Steel Group, which broke ground on the project last year, according to the SF Gate.
The Mojave Micro Mill project will will feature a massive 500,000-square-foot main building and several smaller structures and is anticipated to create some 700 new jobs and to usher in a new era of steel manufacturing for the state.
