AK Steel (NYSE: AKS) announced today that it will likely idle most of its Ashland (KY) Works beginning late in July or early August.

The company said the plant is likely to remain idled at least through the balance of 2009.

The shutdowns on GM's end are not planned to be permanent, so hopefully the Ashland plant will reopen when the GM plants do.

It's not a good year to be in any business.  I fear that the economic moves being taken by the federal government since last September will prove to be catastophic.
