Nov 17, 2022 —
A Glens Falls cement plant will close sometime next year.
The Glens Falls Post-Star reports that news that the Lehigh Cement Company would be closing was a surprise to mayor Bill Collins and other officials. The company has been in Glens Falls for about 130 years.
It has 85 full-time employees at the Glens Falls facility. Collins said city and regional officials want to know how the company plans to help their employees. They also want to know what will happen to the property.
A specific reason for the closing has not been made public. A county economic development official says the building materials industry is facing new economic pressures that may have led to the decision.
A spokesperson for the cement company says a long-term plan for the site has not been made yet.
