In this episode, Jonathan Starr sits down with Jim Bougalis, CEO of North American Iron and Mark Lyman, Minot Chamber/EDC, to discuss one of the most ambitious industrial projects ever planned for Minot. From reclaiming iron-ore waste in Minnesota to producing low-carbon pig iron right here in North Dakota, Bougalis explains how this development could bring hundreds of jobs, reshape the region’s economy, and redefine America’s steel supply chain.
