Ferrara’s Gowanus location, 435 Hoyt St., was seized by the city through eminent domain in the 1970s. Ferrara has leased the site from the city ever since.
The Hudson Cos. has been tapped by the city to build a 774-unit, eight-building residential project that will be 70% affordable on that site.
Ferrara’s new state-of-the-art plant will feature a compressed-natural-gas fueling station to supply 15 cement mixers, the company said. The gas-powered mixers will replace dirtier, diesel units, it said, adding that the fueling station will be open to the public as well.
