On October 25th, America’s largest steelmaker Nucor opened a new steel mill in Hickman, Arkansas. The mill will employ about 100 workers at an average salary of $80,000 a year. A jubilant Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson attended the opening and told the crowd: “I am thrilled that Nucor chose Hickman as the site for its new specialty cold mill complex…Nucor’s investment in Mississippi County over the past 30 years or so has made a substantial economic impact to the region.”
