Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. plans to build a plant near Orr that produces biomass fuel for its taconite operations.
The project, announced at a press conference this morning at the Orr City Hall, is expected to directly create jobs for about 25 people, with an annual payroll of more than $1 million. It also would provide additional work and revenue for loggers, suppliers, vendors and farmers in the area.
The proposed $15 million, 100,000-square-foot facility would be located four miles north of Orr in the small town of Cusson.
