Over the past several years, Nucor evaluated multiple sites both in the U.S. and abroad. The St. James Parish site was selected for many reasons, including a very capable work force and the commitment of state and local officials to this project. State and local officials have strongly supported the project, as reflected by both the State's tireless efforts to attract Nucor and the enthusiastic reception by the people of St. James Parish.
"This facility will create good jobs for American workers and, at the same time, it will help Nucor achieve our long-term goal of increasing control over our raw materials supply," said Nucor Chairman and CEO Daniel R. DiMicco.
Governor Bobby Jindal said, "This is a huge win for our state and will ultimately be one of the largest industrial projects in Louisiana history. Nucor's decision to come to Louisiana instead of anywhere else in the nation or the world is not just a tremendous victory for Louisianians, but it also sends a signal far and
however wide that Louisiana is the best place for businesses to locate, grow and succeed."
