FAIRMONT, W.Va. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW), traveled to Fairmont, W.Va. where she visited Novelis, a world leader in aluminum rolling and recycling.

The operations happening at this facility are incredibly important for many sectors of our economy, and I thank Novelis for the great work they are doing in our state.”
