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

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

Whereas, Nucor Steel-South Carolina's Darlington mill is Nucor's first mini mill, entering production in 1969. 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 the agriculture, energy, construction, and heavy equipment sectors, just to name a few; and

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

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

Whereas, Nucor teammates and their dependents are eligible to receive a $3,500-per-year scholarship to college or vocational school, and approximately $100 million has been awarded nationwide since 1974; 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 Senate 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 Senate:

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

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