flag U.S. Steel to restart Illinois plant in 2026, creating 400 jobs after two-year shutdown.

flag U.S. Steel will restart a blast furnace at its Granite City Works plant in Illinois by early 2026, creating about 400 jobs and resuming steel production after a two-year shutdown. flag The move follows increased demand in auto and construction sectors, a reversal of earlier plans to close the facility, and pressure from the White House. flag The reopening is linked to the $14.9 billion acquisition by Japan’s Nippon Steel, which includes a U.S. government "golden share" for oversight. flag Officials credit Trump-era policies and tariffs for the turnaround, though public sentiment on the economy remains negative.
