The News Enterprise reported that Nucor’s steel plate mill in Brandenburg still is on pace to be up and running by the end of 2022. Announced in March of 2019, Nucor broke ground on the USD 1.7 billion project in October of 2020. Once completed, approximately 1.5 million square feet will be under roof in the Buttermilk Falls Industrial Park along the Ohio River and the facility will be able to produce 1.2 million tons of finished steel plate products annually. Nucor’s Vice President & General Manager Mr Johnny Jacobs said “We are in the process of finishing structures on site, and they will continue to set and commission equipment as the year comes to an end.”Mr Jacobs added “One of the fun things about a project like this is our sister divisions have made most of the steel, from the fasteners to the pilings that have gone into building this operation.”Mr Jacobs also said there are approximately 1,800 contractors on site finishing construction and Nucor also is on track to fill the initially projected 400 full-time positions at the facility too.
