The people of Ashland, Kentucky will see 550 high-paying jobs come back to their small community thanks to a new aluminum mill that is set to open in 2020.
Braidy Industries is opening a new aluminum mill in the northeast Kentucky region after President Trump implemented a ten percent tariff on imported aluminum to protect American industry and jobs.
The aluminum mill, known as Braidy Atlas, will employ about 550 workers and is set for its first production in a just a couple years, where it will be the world’s lowest cost aluminum plant, according to Kentucky Today. Already, Braidy Atlas executives say their first seven years of aluminum production are sold out.
Likewise, the Ashland aluminum mill will be the world’s most technologically advanced plant in the world..
Since free trade deals like NAFTA were implemented and China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO), more than 44,000 U.S. jobs have been eliminated or outsourced in the state of Kentucky. More than 65,000 jobs in Kentucky have been certified by the federal government as being lost from outsourcing or from foreign imports due to free trade.

MAKING America great again. GOD bless President Trump.
For a town with 21,000 people in it, 500 honest industrial jobs with decent wages make a big difference in a lot of ways.
