Lee Bloomquist has posted video and and update on the Essar Steel Minnesota project near Nashwauk at the Iron Range Resources blog “Rangeviews.” The information matches the media reports seen over the past week, but it’s interesting to see the actual dirt work going on.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty told reporters when he was in town Tuesday that Essar has assured him that they won’t be asking for additional state assistance on the financing of this project.
