 Governor Mark Dayton has reinstated the mineral rights leases for a company that wants to finish the former SR steel taconite mine and processing plant in Nashwalk. The governor says Virginia businessman Tom Clark and Chippewa Capital Partners can now move forward with construction and production. Clark bought SR's assets out of bankruptcy last December. He has now met the conditions the state imposed for getting the leases reinstated, including securing financing. SR broke ground in 2008 but struggled to obtain financing and pay contractors. It went bankrupt in 2016. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
