Stock, who replaced Madhu Vuppuluri in July, addressed the Nashwauk City Council Tuesday in an attempt to assure locals that the company does, indeed, have a path forward.

Essar, which proposes a taconite mining and processing facility at the former Butler Taconite Mine near Nashwauk, has faced numerous work stoppages due non-payment to contractors as well as other factors. The half-built project has been under construction for nearly a decade.
