Corrigan McKinnie to Build Blast Furnace at Bells Mills
Corrigan McKinnie & Co plan a new blast furnace at Bells Mills near Blacklick in a deal worth at least 1 million dollars. The plant will start with 350 jobs and reach 850 in operation by spring, with 1,700 tons daily capacity and coal, coke, and ore moving via the Buffalo Rochester & Pittsburg and Pennsylvania railroads. The rail interests will invest in land and tracks, and a town to house workers is planned on the Guthrie tract. The project aims to develop local coal fields and foster regional industrial growth.
