In response to a decline in demand brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, Liberty Steel Group has decided to idle its Georgetown steelworks for an initial period of three months.
The mill will operate with only a skeleton staff on a care and maintenance regime so that it can be opened as soon as economic conditions improve.
Officials will reevaluate conditions in three months and consider resuming production. In the meantime, Liberty Steel's plant in Peoria, Illinois will fulfill customer orders.
