USA Rare Earth, Inc. announced it will establish a new rare earth magnet and refined metals manufacturing facility in Cherokee County, South Carolina, investing about $1.2 billion and creating approximately 490 high-skill jobs. The Blacksburg facility will significantly expand the company's domestic production capacity for neodymium-iron-boron magnets and rare earth metals, supporting critical industries like defense, aerospace, and AI. This new plant complements USA Rare Earth's existing operations and is expected to begin commissioning in 2028, contributing to a secure, Western-aligned rare earth supply chain. The project benefits from local incentives, skilled workforce availability, and confirmed energy delivery, reinforcing U.S. manufacturing and reducing dependence on foreign sources.
