Aluminum Mill to Bring 550 Jobs Back to Kentucky Town Crippled by Free Trade
 [Breitbart] The people of Ashland, Kentucky will see 550 high-paying jobs come back to their small community thanks to a new aluminum mill that is set to open in 2020.Braidy Industries is opening a new aluminum mill in the northeast Kentucky region after President Trump implemented a ten percent tariff on imported aluminum to protect American industry and jobs. The aluminum mill, known as Braidy Atlas, will employ about 550 workers and is set for its first production in a just a couple years, where it will be the world’s lowest cost aluminum plant, according to Kentucky Today. Already, Braidy Atlas executives say their first seven years of aluminum production are sold out. Likewise, the Ashland aluminum mill will be the world’s most technologically advanced plant in the world and will have a production line that stretches 104 inches long. This will make it the widest aluminum mill in all of North America. The new aluminum mill is a fresh start and much needed for the small community of Ashland. In 2016, during President Obama’s administration, AK Steel laid off 633 American steelworkers who were forced to claim unemployment. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-08-29 |
