“Century Aluminum’s plant closure in Ravenswood is not only disappointing for Jackson County and West Virginia but also to Century retirees. I have worked tirelessly with federal, state and local officials, company and industry executives and the retirees to reopen the plant and will continuing working to see if we could find a solution and save these jobs and preserve retiree benefits.
