From Area Development Magazine:

“It is critical that the United States leads in establishing the critical metals supply chain essential to a changing manufacturing landscape across North America. […] The establishment of the Louisiana SMC in Alexandria represents one of these first building blocks and a significant contributor to the shift toward energy production and consumption diversification.†[…]

“This major manufacturing project in central Louisiana is another illustration of how the shift toward cleaner energy is creating jobs and increasing investment all across our state. […] The products manufactured at Ucore will reinforce Louisiana’s importance to the global supply chain as we look to further diversify and expand our economy.†[…]

“Ucore’s decision to locate its Strategic Metals Complex at England Airpark is an important strategic and economic development victory for Louisiana and our region […] Thanks to Ucore for choosing this location and congratulations to our partners at England Airpark for all the work involved in making this happen.”
