Congratulating Nucor Corporation on the 50th anniversary of its Nucor Steel--Texas plant in Jewett.
This is a ceremonial resolution (HR 699) congratulating Nucor Corporation on the 50th anniversary of its Nucor Steel--Texas plant in Jewett, Texas, in 2025. It recognizes the plant's history as one of the first U.S. electric arc furnace steel recycling facilities, its role as North America's largest steel recycler (processing ~20 million tons of scrap annually), and its economic impact (employing ~2,300 Texans across six Texas divisions). The resolution also notes the plant's safety awards and environmental efforts, including a Texas Environmental Excellence Award. As a non-binding resolution, it has no policy or legal effect - it solely expresses legislative recognition.
