From Area Development Magazine:

“We are very excited to grow our steel business here in our home state of North Carolina. The corridor between Washington, DC and Atlanta is one of the fastest growing regions in our nation, and new federal spending for infrastructure will further increase demand for rebar in the region. […] Nucor Steel Lexington will produce steel with nearly 100% recycled content, which means our new, modern infrastructure will be made with the cleanest sustainable steel available anywhere in the world.†[…]

“Manufacturing is the heartbeat of North Carolina’s economy, thanks to our skilled workers and the workforce training systems that support them. […] Nucor already calls North Carolina home and their decision to expand here is great for our domestic supply chain that supports our fast-growing economy.†[…]

“North Carolina is the number one state for manufacturing in the Southeast, and companies like Nucor help keep us on top. […] Our state’s workforce is also a key reason for our success, and as our First in Talent plan for economic development makes clear, we’re committed to providing our people with the education and specialized training they need to successfully fill jobs like these.â€
