Redeveloper Breaks Ground on Massive Industrial Park at Former US Steel Site in Falls Township
At its height, Fairless Works employed some 7,000 workers, and was one of the largest steel mills in the world.
In 2001, US Steel closed the storied Falls Township plant, leaving just hundreds of workers to remain for the next decade and stalling economic growth.
