Manchin Celebrates Groundbreaking of Nucor Steel's $3 Billion Mason County Sheet Mill

Press Release

"West Virginia's steel industry was started in Wheeling in 1884. Before and since then, we've mined the coal that forged the steel that built the guns and ships that turned the United States of America into the world's superpower. That would not have been possible without the people of West Virginia. This little state of West Virginia has given everything she has to this great country of ours -- but for a while, we've felt like the returning Vietnam Veteran. West Virginians did the dirty work, but we were cast aside. Now, we have arrived, and we are here today to show the rest of the world what our state can do for the infrastructure and energy our country needs and our world needs. Today's groundbreaking is an opportunity to take that legacy to the next level."
