Rep. Lindsay Parkhurst (R-Kankakee) wants to see the Nucor Steel plant in Bourbonnais grow.
Parkhurst recently joined Gov. Bruce Rauner and Rep. Jim Durkin (R-Western Springs) in a visit to the plant to drum up support for Nucor Steel Kankakee County’s mission to receive a $180 million expansion, according to a press release. The trip was part of Rauner's "Built in Illinois" tour.
“This expansion would be great for Kankakee County, great for the 79th District, and great for Illinois,” Parkhurst said in the press release. “I am proud to work with Nucor to win this project for Illinois to create 75 new jobs in the area.
"Manufacturing is vital to our district and Nucor’s commitment to its team members and this community is an asset.”
