Press Release

“As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of America, it is important that we retrace the roots of the revolution to understand the struggle in the fight for freedom. Those roots brought us here to Point Pleasant when General Lewis fought to create a safe haven for settlers in what was then western Virginia. It was an honor to speak at the ceremony and remember some of the very first patriots who sacrificed so much for our freedom.
As I helped lead negotiations for the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that is now law, I saw an enormous opportunity to bring jobs to West Virginia workers by partnering with companies like Nucor. Nucor’s investment will make our communities stronger and open doors for so many workers and their families, while also putting our state at the center when it comes to supporting critical infrastructure and national security efforts in the future. It was great to see how much progress they have made on this facility in the last year and to meet with the leadership team to hear about their plans for the future."
