GHENT, Ky. — A tour of the Nucor Steel Gallatin mill near Ghent, Kentucky, offers a behind-the-scenes look at things to come for the company's planned sheet mill at the Mason County, West Virginia, community of Apple Grove.

You can't miss Nucor Steel Gallatin when you exit Interstate 71 southwest of Cincinnati and head north on Ky. 1039 toward Indiana. As you pass the Kentucky Speedway and come down the hill toward the bridge, the plant's blue building bearing the Nucor name towers over the Ohio River bottom land, just as the smokestacks for the Kentucky Utilities Ghent Generating Station a few miles away do.
