JSDC looks at iron smelting

The empty westbound coal trains passing through Jamestown may someday bring iron ore to Stutsman County. The Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corp. decided to fund a share of a feasibility study for a plant to smelt the ore into pellets during its regular meeting Monday. The plant would be co-located with Great River Energy’s Spiritwood Station coal-fired generating plant at Spiritwood.
