Great Lakes Steel


For decades, mostly during the heyday of the U.S. automotive industry, the huge Great Lakes Steel plant on the Detroit River was Ecorse’s primary employer, and provided most of the city’s tax base. As the American steel industry has contracted over the past few decades, the plant’s primacy in the city has decreased as well.
