Green light for US$340 million cement plant
Canadian outfit Cemcorp, which plans to operate here as Cement Jamaica, was given the green light yesterday to build a US$340 million cement plant in St Catherine.
Cement Jamaica representative Fitz Jackson told the Business Observer that the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) board gave the final nod after a rigorous, 12-month approval process.
He expects “activities on the ground”, or preparation for construction, such as land clearing, to commence by April. “We will now move ahead towards finalising all pertinent arrangements.”

Cost of the plant has now jumped 67% and we are still talking.
Do we really need another cement plant ???
