Nice job, Justin! I'm from the Cleveland, Ohio area and have worked as a consultant to Nucor for the past 12+ years. All you've said about Nucor is true. I would emphasize the deep commitment the company makes to its local community. The $1M given to the school reflects that. I have had the best years of my consulting career (30+ yrs.) working with Nucor! teammates. Most importantly, Safety is A#1, each day every day throughout Nucor. I can't emphasize this enough. West Virginians who work here will be assured of going home as they arrived to the plant. I'm eager to visit this greenfield at some point before start-up and catch up with some teammates i know there. Best wishes to you Justin and, again, very nice video!

@@CCGamesYT Hey, thanks for the comment and the concerns you have with Huntington. I thought I had mentioned abandoned buildings/blight in my housing assessment video, but I may have missed it. Check out this very informative video packed full of economic data and housing needs that speaks on residential blight. It’s very interesting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4iwgGRrhbJ0qbMsi=vHbLdU_KguAUtteM As for homelessness and drugs, I don’t have a strong opinion on those at the moment, nor am I inspired to put in the research. No doubt that individuals need help; hopefully they get what they need. There are several other videos out there that address these. We even made it on Netflix! :)

@@yellowstone2964 People love to retire in WV; probably because our slow laid back culture.

Also, a little south is the Tamarack; a great spot for admiring local artisans.

*_Ever noticed while the citizen is paying off their 30-40-year loan, they have certain city codes and mandates they must adhere to. Like keeping the grass cut and the bushes trimmed back. And they can't pose any fire hazard on the premises whatsoever. But once calamity hits and the banks and the police throw them out. The bankers/real owners of the house don't have to maintain anything. They can just let the joint go to pot and to pieces with no ramifications or responsibilities at all. Then after years of neglect, the city/taxpayers have to pay to knock it down and clean it up. Some setup these banks have with the government huh?_*

If we are living there as a International student with single or studio apartment in Huntington near to university like marshal then what would be the cost of Living and all ?

Hey there. I would say that it all comes down to how you live and spend your money. This video was created to give a comparison of Huntington to other cities people may be considering to live in. I just checked the Zillow site for median rental price, and it appears to be a little higher than when I initially created this video. Still a little over $700 per month for a studio or 1 bedroom apartment. Of course, the location and the quality of the rental will affect this monthly cost.

@@Elizabeth-gt5sk It’s hard to say with how much the weather varies. You may end up with -10 degrees and windy or a mild start to the season where they are struggling to get trails open.

Hi Ron. Thanks for the question. As far as population goes, the city has been on a small decline over the years, but there is a lot going on. Marshall University has recently finished a new business building and a baseballs field, and there are more large projects on the way that are already in the works. Several elementary schools are being rebuilt, the hospitals are ever expanding, and we may see an uptick in growth due to the Nucor steel mill being built. I know that people in the area are very much interested in getting their hardwood floors redone.
