(DLC Media) Alcoa has announced they are in the process of restarting three idled lines at their aluminum smelting facility in Warrick County. The lines were previously shut down in March of last year, resulting in the lay-off of about 600 employees. The Pittsburgh-based company will invest between $30 and $35 million to restart the three lines supporting Alcoa’s existing rolling mill at the facility, which produces flat-rolled aluminum for the food and beverage market in North America. It also means the addition of 275 full-time jobs. The Indiana Economic Development Coalition wants to keep those jobs here; therefore, they offered Alcoa up to $2.4 million in conditional tax credits and up to $100,000 in training grants.
