The German steelmaker, ThyssenKrupp AG, plans to build a $3.7 billion plant in Mobile County, Ala. There will be 2,700 permanent jobs and 29,000 temporary construction jobs.
The question is: where will these workers live? East Mississippi, Mobile County, South Baldwin County or West Pensacola? All will get some, but who will be the big winner?
Pensacola/Escambia County should have a plan to court these workers.
