Senator Justice Visits Nucor Steel, Celebrates American Manufacturing Strength

MASON COUNTY, WV– Today, Senator Jim Justice released the following statement after visiting Nucor Steel, one of America’s leading steel manufacturers:
“Nucor has been an unbelievable partner to West Virginia since we began this journey together years ago. When I reflect on my time as Governor, landing Nucor in West Virginia as the state’s largest investment in our history is a shining moment that everybody should be proud of. This state-of-the-art facility is the result of practical investment in our people’s off-the-chart potential – and represents a true revival in this part of the country. I hope I’m back here to celebrate with Nucor when this facility is ready to go, because this is a massive accomplishment in the next chapter of both Nucor and the state of West Virginia. There is nothing better than American steel, and nothing better than steel made right here at home,”saidSenator Jim Justice.
“Our Nucor team is grateful for the opportunity to host U.S. Senator Justice today and convey our appreciation for his ongoing support of our state-of-the-art sheet mill project. We are proud to share the significant construction progress as well as the continued growth of our team here in Mason County and the meaningful benefits this investment is already delivering to our local communities,”Johnny Jacobs, Vice President and General Manager of Nucor Steel West Virginia, said.
