Excitement for the aluminum rolling mill has been buzzing since the company announced in April 2017 it would locate in the region.

"This is probably the greatest feeling I've had in a while, since my children were born," Greenup County Judge Executive Bobby Carpenter said. "But this is seeing everything come together that we worked so hard for and the people in Greenup and Boyd and all of this area deserve it. I'm just glad to be part of it."

Carpenter was among the guest speakers at the ceremony for the groundbreaking that brought hundreds to East Park.

The company says the construction phase will generate up to 1,800 jobs, both union and nonunion.

CEO Craig Bouchard expects many of those jobs to be locally filled.

Why is the electricity they are buying @ low cost?

Its coal country.

The Canadian aluminum factory uses electricity from Niagara.

This is a weird sad story. References the addiction and unemployment in Appalachia.

IB Freeman is arguably the biggest cuck on the entire TD site.

He’s also the most boring - he’s worse than OleWarSkule and the dedicated Rubio nonsense.

Both are serious problems.

And no one seems to know how to handle the first part of it.
