Wenatchee Works

Alcoa announced the closure of 146,000 metric tons of aluminum smelting capacity at the Wenatchee Works aluminum smelter located in the state of Washington. The process to permanently decommission the smelter, which has been idle since 2015, will begin immediately to prepare the site for potential redevelopment. Cash outlays related to the permanent closure of the site are expected to be approximately $60 million over the next seven years, with approximately $10 million to be spent in 2022. The site includes approximately 2,800 acres with intermodal transportation and utility infrastructure. The site currently employs 18 people, some of whom will remain to assist with demolition and redevelopment work.
