Mount Vernon Steel plans move of plating operation
Mount Vernon Steel and Wire Co will relocate its plating from the Mount Vernon plant to an undetermined site. Vice president Dave Langer says the shutdown is permanent and the move will meet state and federal guidelines though it adds costs. The city has cut water to the plant over zinc and cyanide concerns and a court hearing on an injunction was postponed to July 26.
