Construction has begun on the Alabama Graphite Products Plant in Kellyton, though heavy construction is not due to start until spring, parent company Westwater Resources said in an update Wednesday.
The work began last week, starting with the refurbishment of what will soon be the administration center, president and CEO Chris Jones said at the town hall-style forum. In addition to the 73-acre parcel the company received as part of its incentives package, Westwater purchased two adjacent buildings within the Lake Martin Regional Industrial Park site for warehousing and plant management.
