WTOV: Moore Discusses Weirton's Future at USW Union Hall

WEIRTON, W.Va. — U.S. Congressman Riley Moore visited Weirton on Wednesday to meet with members of the United Steel Workers Local 2911 chapter. The discussion focused on the future of the organization and the anticipated transformer facility set to open in the area.

"This is a really exciting opportunity here in Weirton where we're going to be making transformers," Moore said. "There's a huge backlog in this country and around the world on transformers, and these are going to be American-made here in Weirton, so the growth trajectory of this is huge far beyond the level of workers that you had that were producing tin here at this plant."
