The Ravena-Coeymans Historical Society’s program, “Fifty Years Making Cement in Ravena, held Sunday, March 18 was great.

In many ways, it actually felt more like a reunion. Former and current employees, along with and their families gathered to reflect on their time at the Ravena plant, reconnect, and learn about the plant’s future.

I want to thank the folks from the Ravena-Coeymans Historical Society for all their hardwork putting together a terrific program.

Also, thanks to Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin for his presentation of a New York State Assembly Citation recognizing the contributions made to the community by generations of Lafarge Ravena plant employees.
