| Detroit Could Block Billionaire-Owned Concrete Plant From Further Neighborhood Expansion The Kronos concrete mixing plant overlooks the Cadillac Heights neighborhood in Detroit. Sarahbeth Maney/ProPublica After years of community opposition, Detroit city officials have taken steps to stop a concrete mixing facility from further expanding into a residential neighborhood. City Council members, acting on a recommendation last week from planning officials, will soon consider a rezoning measure that would restrict industrial activity at the site of the Kronos concrete plant and surrounding area. The concrete facility at its current size could stay and continue to operate as normal. |
