October 7, 2024--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Industrial Info is tracking more than $5.4 billion worth of projects that are presently under construction in West Virginia. The Metals & Minerals sector plays an outsize role in the state's project activity, coming in with more than 80% of the overall investment value. Most of the remainder consists of Industrial Manufacturing projects, although projects in other industries also are underway in the state.

Contributing the most to West Virginia's project investments is Nucor Corporation (NYSE:NUE) (Charlotte, North Carolina), which is building a grassroot steel sheet mill in Apple Grove that will increase the company's product offerings.
