Construction in Iowa of the nation’s largest steel plant took another step forward yesterday (Wednesday).The Lee County Board of Supervisors and Mesabi Metallics approved a term sheet setting the framework for local tax and community benefit payments. The board also passed a resolution supporting the plant, which was a key requirement for Mesabi getting an incentive package from the Iowa Economic Development Authority. KWQC reports the benefits included in the agreement for Lee County and the surrounding area include up to $10.5 million in payments during development and construction to help offset demands on county services, a guarantee of at least $112 million in new assessed property value before Mesabi receives any tax rebate, and Mesabi will pay Lee County $50 million over 20 years in lieu of additional property taxes.
