Operates in Allegheny County. This includes the Clairton Coke works, the Edgar Thompson plant and the Irvin Rolling mill.

It would be bitter sweet to see these go. On one hand, these plants are significant polluters that impact nearby communities. And on the other hand, they provide decent jobs for those who work there and contribute to the local tax base.
