In the shadow of Bethlehem Steel

At dusk, the blast furnaces are lit up at the now closed Bethlehem Steel mill in Bethlehem, Pa.

Steel manufacturing began here in 1873 and continued until the mill closed in 1995. In the two decades since the blast furnaces went silent, the local economy did not follow the once mighty company into decline. It bounced back. The site now houses a casino, a hotel and performance spaces, and the city of Bethlehem has become home to new industrial parks filled with e-commerce companies and white-collar businesses seeking refuge from New York’s higher costs.
