St. Marys considers reopening of plant Mayor: Discussions are in early stage BY PAM EGGEMEIER
DIXON – A cement plant that has been idle since December 2008 has approached the city about reopening. About 90 employees lost their jobs when St. Marys ceased operations almost 6 years ago. A few workers have remained to oversee the plant’s use as a distribution terminal. Dixon Mayor Jim Burke said representatives from St. Marys approached him about 5 months ago to discuss restarting manufacturing operations. The talks were in very early stages, so he was surprised to see the company’s recent clas-
sified ad in Sauk Valley Media publications looking for more than 65 workers, he said. “We’re optimistic, and it would be a great thing to have the plant up and running again,” Burke said. “But honestly,” Burke continued, “I saw the ad and thought they might be jumping the gun.” The plant is old and not nearly as efficient as many others owned by the company. St. Marys is part of Votorantim Cimentos, based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Restarting operations would require a large capital investment, and the company is looking for help. “We’re working with them to see if there are incentives to make it all work,” Burke said. “We would like to get Sen. Dick Durbin involved as we look at state options.” ST. MARYS CONTINUED ON 2
