DECATUR, Ala. — Nucor Corp. will invest $60 million to expand its Nucor Towers & Structures facility in Morgan County, adding 60 jobs to increase production of steel utility poles, Gov. Kay Ivey announced Oct. 20.
The project adds production capacity, laydown space and a dedicated galvanizing inspection area. Nucor's own release places the plant in Trinity, next to its Decatur sheet mill, and says the new jobs will pay average annual wages above $87,000. The company says the investment is "subject to regulatory and other approvals."
