Nucor Celebrates Start of Work in West Virginia Mill 

“As one of the strongest and most diversified industrial manufacturers in the United States and one of the top five recyclers in the world, Nucor is proud to bring this transformative project to the state of West Virginia. Once operational, our new facility in Mason County will supply the clean, American-made sheet steel products that will be needed to build our nation’s economy for decades to come,” Nucor chair and chief executive officer Leon Topalian said during a ceremony Friday. 

The new mill represents a US$3.1 billion investment in Mason County, located along the Ohio River on the western side of the state. It is expected to create as many as 2,000 construction jobs and approximately 800 full-time positions when fully operational.
 
“Nucor Steel’s decision to locate in Mason County, West Virginia, will reinvigorate our community, bringing new opportunities and investment to our area. Untold benefits will come from this investment and it came to fruition through all of West Virginia working together,” said John Musgrave, Mason County Economic Development executive director.
