Effect on the Economy
Johnstown, a once booming steel city was significantly impacted by the aftermath of flood. In a city that relied so heavily on the steel industry in its economy, the effects of this disaster would be felt for some years to come. The Bethlehem Steel Company had roots into the industry within Johnstown. As the company continued to face a decline in profits in the years after the flood, they looked to Johnstown for solutions. With continuous cutbacks, Johnstown had ranked as the area with the least profit made. The CEO of Bethlehem Steel, Donald Trautlein, invested no more money into the city as he did not see any more profit to be made.
