(Aliquippa, Pa) Beaver County Property records show that 72 Steel has closed on their deal with Chuck Betters to purchase land used by the former J&L Steel Mill to build a new steel facility on the property. The Brooklyn, New York based Chinese-American company held a groundbreaking at the site in May, with hopes to have the new steel mill operational by 2025. 72 Steel says they will be investing 218 million dollars into the mill and be able to produce hundreds of thousands of tons of steel per year using the newest and most advanced steel technology and environmentally friendly equipment.
