Fresno County supervisors set to vote on CEMEX mining expansion project

Fresno County supervisors are scheduled to vote Thursday on CEMEX’s proposed Rockfield Modification Project, which would expand its quarry and plant near the San Joaquin River. The plan would allow continued operations and deeper excavation, reaching up to 600 feet. CEMEX says the expansion would create jobs and tax revenue, while environmental advocates warn of potential harm to wildlife and the surrounding area. A public hearing is expected to draw supporters and opponents.
