Summary
$500 million in federal funding will go to Cleveland-Cliffs' Middletown steel mill, with the company adding another $500 million in a public-private investment Vance unveiled in Ohio.
2,300 jobs are expected from the project, which the Department of Energy said is aimed at strengthening the domestic steel supply chain.
Middletown framed the announcement as personal as well as economic: Vance noted his grandfather had worked at the mill as a welder decades earlier.
Three Central Pastry Shop employees who met Vance during a hometown stop were invited to the rally, underscoring the local, community-centered rollout of the investment.
