## Resource

The deal to redevelop Georgetown’s old steel mill site is dead after River Development Equities failed to secure permits before Liberty Steel’s deadline — and Liberty wouldn’t budge on extending the timeline without an impossible upfront payment. Environmental cleanup approvals were key, but with the city’s Department of Environmental Services already flagging the site for testing, the project’s momentum stalled. Locals are heartbroken — the abandoned mill has long been a symbol of economic loss, and this setback feels like another blow after decades of industrial decline. Still, Rep. Lee Hewitt remains hopeful that Liberty Steel might yet come to the table and help revive the vision for a revitalized, job-creating future in Georgetown.
