Nucor Steel Arkansas and Nucor-Yamato Steel Co. have each donated $500,000 to the Cold War Museum project in Blytheville. The $1 million donation will aid ongoing efforts to make the center a major Delta tourism destination by sharing the unique history of one of the most pivotal conflicts in history.
Nucor Steel Arkansas and Nucor-Yamato Steel each operate steel mills in Blytheville. A timetable for completing the project has not been set.
“Nucor is proud to support The National Cold War Center. Once complete, the center will be a treasure for residents and an attraction for people from all over the world,” said Jon Witherow, Vice President and General Manager of Nucor-Yamato Steel Company. “We succeed when Mississippi County succeeds, and we couldn’t be more excited to give back to our community by supporting the continued development of The National Cold War Center.”
