Jefferson County Commissioners unanimously approved a jobs grant resolution and project agreement for the American Cast Iron Pipe Company to provide economic incentives for their expansion called the "American for Life 2030" project. The project will create approximately 80 jobs with an average wage of $55 an hour. The County jobs grant is capped at $320,000, and is based on the number of jobs created paying a certain wage. ACIPCO's capital investment is $793,170,000 and there are plans to replace its cupola furnace with greener induction furnaces, a new lining and coating facility, along with a new employee center and administrative building. If you would like to hear more details on the project and what it means for the community visit our Livestream archive here and watch Tuesday's Pre-Commission meeting.
 Traffic on Caldwell Mill Rd reopened this week. Construction will continue with the replacement of the old Looney Mill Rd Bridge starting Monday Jan. 12, 2026 at 7 a.m. Drivers should follow posted detour signs to access Old Looney Mill Rd via Five Oaks Lane during this phase of work.
In addition, the Altadena Park Trail will be temporarily closed at the Old Looney Mill Rd crossing near the construction site. Please follow posted signage to help ensure the safety of park visitors and construction crews.
Again, we thank you and appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete these important infrastructure improvements.
