The infusion of 1,494 jobs, $57,645,000 in total labor income and $3.5 million in State General Fund Revenue is the estimated operational result of the $700-million steel mini-mill being constructed by SeverCorr in the Tennessee Valley near Columbus, Mississippi in Lowndes County. It is expected that some 1.5 million tons of flat-rolled steel sheets will be produced annually to supply more than 10 automotive plants in the Southeast, including Nissan Motor Company’s Canton, Mississippi facility.
