A $500 million expansion of a Baytown steel mill was announced Monday by Gov. Greg Abbott, a move that will add hundreds of new jobs at an average salary of $65,000.
In a conference call with reporters from India, where a Texas trade-development mission is underway, Abbott said the expansion will benefit the oil and gas industry and related businesses statewide.
Abbott also said he is working with Indian firms to increase shipments from Texas to India of liquified natural gas, and open new markets for businesses in both countries of technology and machinery, among other products.
