Description

St. Louis was in line to get a new $6 billion public company — until the deal recently collapsed. The company, Evolution Metals, said it would be based in The Hill neighborhood and help build a U.S. battery and magnet supply chain to rival China’s. We’ll take you inside what actually happened.
