We heard
all about the horrors of manufacturing zoning in Red Hook. Well, the cement plant causing so much consternation is open, and so far, so good. From the
Post:
"A controversial Red Hook concrete plant that will help rebuild the World Trade Center has quietly opened, dashing the hopes of stone-faced critics who vilified its arrival.
The United States Concrete facility opened on March 15, according to Michael Gentoso, a regional vice president for the Texas-based company, but rainy weather and the ongoing economic storm has kept the plant operating at below capacity.
“We are having a slow start,” he said."
