Nucor Progresses

Nov 05, 2024

A year after ground was broken, a massive industrial complex is taking shape in Mason County on Rt. 2 along the Ohio River.

Across the site, which rivals the size of some small towns in West Virginia, massive steel skeletons are rising from the flat river bottom skyward. When complete, the facility will house one of the world’s most state of the art and clean operating steel mills in the world.

“We’re probably two years away from start up, so we’re probably a third of the way through the construction process. Some of the first pieces of equipment have been set in the last couple of weeks and that will ramp up as we move forward,” said Nucor Steel CEO Leon Topalian.

Just under 250 Nucor employees are on site along with close to 1,000 contractors and construction workers moving the project along. Topalian said the outlook is for steel products to start rolling off the line at the facility in 2027.
