Steel producer Nucor Corp. announced it will build a $1.35 billion manufacturing mill in a rural Kentucky county, creating several hundred jobs while expanding its presence in the bluegrass state.
Gov. Matt Bevin said the steel plate mill to be built at Brandenburg in Meade County ranks as one of the state’s largest-ever single investments. After the announcement, the Republican governor who is seeking re-election this year received a congratulatory call from President Donald Trump.
