What happened
Jim Justice visited the Constellium Rolled Products plant in West Virginia to recognize the facility's contributions to NASA’s Artemis space program. Constellium manufactures critical structural elements, including aluminum components and heat shields, for Boeing’s Space Launch System and Lockheed Martin’s Orion Crew Module. During the visit, Justice also discussed his potential run for governor and addressed the status of the Pleasants Power Station, which is supported by a state loan.
Why it matters
The company's involvement in the space industry is cited as a factor helping to change West Virginia's economic image. Constellium Plant President Brian McCallie noted that the site is approaching record employment due to strong business and customer demand. Justice also weighed in on the uncertainty surrounding the Pleasants Power Station investment.
