TO HONOR DARLINGTON MILL OF NUCOR STEEL-SOUTH CAROLINA AT THE CELEBRATION OF ITS FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY, TO CONGRATULATE THE MILL AND ITS MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED TEAMMATES AND FAMILIES ON A HALF-CENTURY OF MAKING AMERICA'S STEEL, AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES FOR CONTINUED SUCCESS IN THE YEARS TO COME.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Darlington mill of Nucor Steel-South Carolina is celebrating its half-century anniversary in 2019; and

Whereas, entering production in 1969, Nucor Steel-South Carolina's Darlington mill is Nucor's first mini mill. Although originally designed to provide a reliable and economical supply of steel to the Nucor Steel's Vulcraft division in Florence, South Carolina, the Darlington mill now accommodates customers from a wide variety of sectors, including agriculture, energy, construction, and heavy equipment; and

Whereas, the Darlington and Florence mills in South Carolina essentially represent the birthplace of the modern-day Nucor; and

Whereas, Nucor has invested over 474 million dollars in South Carolina since 2009 to modernize its facilities, and employs more than two thousand teammates throughout South Carolina in Darlington, Florence, Berkeley, Lexington, and York counties; and

Whereas, all Nucor teammates and their dependents are eligible to receive a scholarship of 3,500 dollars per year to college or vocational school, and since 1974, approximately one hundred million dollars has been awarded nationwide; and

Whereas, to commemorate its fifty-year milestone, the mill will host an anniversary celebration on June 26, 2019; and

Whereas, appreciative of its contributions to the prosperity of the Palmetto State, the House of Representatives is delighted to salute Nucor Steel-South Carolina's Darlington mill on fifty years of excellence in serving the citizens of South Carolina and beyond. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor Darlington mill of Nucor Steel-South Carolina at the celebration of its fiftieth anniversary, congratulate the mill and its more than five hundred teammates and families on a half-century of making America's steel, and extend best wishes for continued success in the years to come.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Darlington mill of Nucor Steel-South Carolina.
