PROJECT DESCRIPTION
After more than a century at its 2011 N. Southport address, A. Finkl & Sons began working with Alderman Michelle Harris, city officials, community leaders and neighborhood residents to build a state-of-the art manufacturing facility at the former Verson Steel plant at 1355 E. 93rd St. Its new location in the 8th Aldermanic Ward was 100% operational as of November 2013 and consists of 500,000 square feet of vacant manufacturing space on 55 acres. The company hired and/or retained 300 permanent jobs and created 505 temporary jobs in the process. The result of the move was a retrofitted 21st Century state-of-the-art steel making plant and a new relationship between Finkl Steel and their new neighbors in the Burnside community.
