Cement shortages in Colorado could be alleviated if a Mexican cement manufacturer decides to invest $200 million to build a new plant in Pueblo. The Pueblo plant would produce about one- tons of cement a year, which would make it Colorado?EUR??,,????'???s second-largest cement plant.

The Pueblo cement plant has been discussed since 1998 and has all of the necessary building and air-quality permits. The company is finalizing assessments of electricity supplies, material suppliers and contractor customers.

If the project gains approval from the board of directors of Grupo Cementos de Chihuahua (GCC), the plant could be operational by the end of 2007.

In 2004, GCC had sales of $348 million and has cement plants in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, New Mexico and South Dakota. They have already spent more than $22 million on site preparation related to the Pueblo cement plant.
