The resolution recognizes and celebrates Nucor Day at the State Capitol on February 19, 2025, highlighting Nucor Corporation's significant contributions to the steel industry and the Arkansas economy. As the largest steel producer in the U.S. and a leader in sustainability, Nucor recycles approximately 20 million tons of ferrous scrap metal annually, resulting in a greenhouse gas intensity that is significantly lower than the global average. Since establishing its first steel mill in Arkansas in 1987, Nucor has expanded its operations to five facilities in the state, employing nearly 2,800 individuals and maintaining a policy of never laying off employees.

The resolution also emphasizes Nucor's commitment to its workforce, with a median pay exceeding $100,000 for production teammates and a profit-sharing plan that allows employees to share in the company's success. Nucor has invested over $1 billion in modernizing its Arkansas facilities in the past five years and supports education through scholarships for employees and their dependents. The resolution concludes by directing that a copy be sent to Nucor's CEO, affirming the state's appreciation for the company's impact on both the local economy and the broader steel industry.
