This resolution formally recognizes and celebrates Nucor Day at the State Capitol Building on April 15, 2026, acknowledging Nucor Corporation's significant contributions to Arkansas. The resolution highlights Nucor as the largest steel producer in the United States and a leader in sustainable steelmaking through extensive recycling of ferrous scrap metal, which results in significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional methods. It emphasizes Nucor's long-standing presence in Arkansas since 1987, its current operation of five facilities in the state, and its employment of approximately 2,772 individuals, referred to as "teammates," who benefit from a stable employment history, competitive pay averaging over $100,000 annually, and a profit-sharing plan. The resolution also notes Nucor's substantial investments in its Arkansas mills, its role in producing steel for iconic structures, and its commitment to education through a scholarship program for its teammates and their dependents. Finally, it mandates that a copy of this resolution be sent to Nucor's Chief Executive Officer.
