Adams: With the acquisition, those numbers will probably, more than likely, increase.

Mayor Marcus Adams of East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, emphasizes that the acquisition of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel could lead to significant growth for the local economy. He highlights that in 2023, U.S. Steel contributed $138.2 million in local and state tax revenue and supported over 11,000 jobs. He believes that with Nippon Steel’s involvement, these numbers would likely increase, further benefiting the region.
