The state committed additional funds Thursday to support the Nucor steel plant in Mason County.
The West Virginia Economic Development Authority approved $75 million for the Nucor site, Gov. Jim Justice said Thursday.
Justice said the funds would be used for infrastructure upgrades such as port improvements and water treatment systems.
That’s in addition to the $800 million Nucor has committed to the project, which Justice called the largest in state and company history.
“I’m proud to continue building on our record-breaking investment with Nucor, because they’ve been rockstars in my book,” Justice said in a statement. “Nucor has been everything you could want in an economic development partner, and this additional funding shows the confidence we have in them and the confidence they have in West Virginia.”
Construction is under way at the 1,700-acre Apple Grove site. When it becomes operational, the plant will employ as many as 800 workers and produce sheet steel for the automotive and construction industries.
The company has committed to operating the plant with a lower carbon footprint by sourcing a percentage of its electricity from renewables.
