A good news day

This was one of those days that Mississippi County Judge Steve McGuire would call "another beautiful day in Mississippi County."

And not just because some nice fall weather has finally seemed to arrive.

No, today's good news is that PIZO Operating Company, a joint venture of the Nucor Corporation and The Heritage Group, will bring 43 high-paying jobs to the Blytheville area. The company's 43 workers are expected to earn between $50,000 and $60,000 a year. Going online in late 2008, the new plant will process electric arc furnace dust from the Nucor Steel Arkansas and Nucor-Yamato steel plants, converting it into marketable products used primarily in the metals industry.

So, yes, it is another beautiful day in Mississippi County.

For the complete story, see Tuesday's edition of the Courier News.
