U. S. Steel convened a panel of local community leaders to
advise the Company on where its contributions would make the
greatest impact. These grants were presented today at a
check-presentation ceremony on the steps of the Mississippi County
Courthouse. Among the donations, is a more than $425,000 grant to
relocate the South Mississippi County Regional Medical Center’s
(SMCRMC) emergency room, which was damaged by flooding, buy
life-saving equipment and construct a helipad. Other donations
will:
- Provide new equipment for Osceola’s police, firefighters, city
services and first responders ($405,000)
- Fund a program for at-risk youth by the Arkansas Northeast
College Foundation ($80,000)
- Offer additional funding for the Mississippi County Community
Foundation and the Mississippi County Arkansas Economic Opportunity
Commission, which both serve the broader community ($30,000
each)
- Match a federal grant to improve Luxora Park ($20,000)
“U. S. Steel is committed to the communities where we live and
work, because helping foster a thriving community is essential for
everyone’s success. We are fortunate to be able to contribute
meaningfully,” said Daniel (Dan) R. Brown, U. S. Steel’s Senior
Vice President of Advanced Technology Steelmaking and Chief
Operating Officer of Big River Steel Works. “Our acquisition of Big
River Steel and investment in a new mill here is not just about
delivering profitable steel solutions. It is also about making a
positive economic impact on the greater Osceola community and
helping revitalize its historic status as a bastion of American
industry and innovation.”
“I, and the people of our city, appreciate the tremendous
support and ongoing partnership of U. S. Steel. U. S. Steel is a
great corporate neighbor for Osceola and our surrounding
communities,” said Osceola Mayor Sally Wilson. “With their generous
gift, we will be able to purchase, among other things, AEDs,
medical trauma kits and fire extinguishers for the Osceola Police
Department, Osceola Fire Department and Fire Departments from the
surrounding towns of Wilson, Keiser and Luxora.”
U. S. Steel’s partners at Entergy Arkansas were inspired by
