Demolition has begun at the former Permanente cement plant, marking a major step in the site’s transition. The demolition will remove about 40 structures across 123 acres, with work expected to continue through early 2028. This effort follows the shutdown of the cement kiln in 2020 and the plant’s permanent closure announcement in 2022. For more information, please refer to Beyond the Cement Plant.
