US: The supervisor of Santa Clara County in California has ordered a report by the county council setting out a plan for the acquisition of Lehigh Hanson’s Santa Clara cement plant and its associated quarry. If successful in acquiring the property, the administration would close down all operations there. The Mercury News has reported that the council will have until mid-May 2022 to produce its report. The supervisor called the facilities a ‘historical anachronism’ and said that the land, situated in the county’s Silicon Valley light industry region, might be used for housing.
