It's not a good year to be in any business.  I fear that the economic moves being taken by the federal government since last September will prove to be catastophic. ]]> Wed, 13 May 2009 21:04:20 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1311&PID=6403&title=ak-keeps-middletown-productive#6403 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1311&PID=6402&title=ak-keeps-middletown-productive#6402 Author: arwendt

AK Steel (NYSE: AKS) announced today that it will likely idle most of its Ashland (KY) Works beginning late in July or early August.

The company said the plant is likely to remain idled at least through the balance of 2009.
