Nucor corporate and local executives pledged to not only create at least 180 jobs by the end of 2025, but also honor the community’s deep manufacturing heritage with a long-term commitment to the plant and community. Nucor is North America’s largest recycler, using scrap steel as its primary raw material.
The plant is being constructed on a 123.66-acre tract at 6776 E. U.S. 64 near Kepley Road off U.S. 64 between I-85 and N.C. 109. With production slated to begin by end of 2024, it is estimated to produce as much as 430,000 tons of rebar a year, which typically is used in the construction of roads, buildings, sidewalks and other structures.
