The Lafarge Cement plant at 5400 West Marginal Way will be shut down for approximately 32 days "due to full inventory" according to Plant Manager Richard Sebastianelli. A letter has been sent from Sebastianelli advising Community Liason members. During the shutdown maintenance will be performed and none of the 73 employees jobs will be affected. "This is a normally planned shutdown due to full inventory," according to Sebastianelli.

"Dear Community Liaison Members:

We have shutdown our plant due to full inventory last Wednesday October 28.
I anticipate the duration of our shutdown to be approximately 32 days.
You will be informed of the anticipated start-up as soon as this is
confirmed.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.
