An end to concrete-plant controversy in Cranston?

CRANSTON -- Mayor Michael T. Napolitano is scheduled to announce tomorrow that the city has reached an agreement, in principle, to buy out a controversial, half-built concrete plant in the Eden Park section of the city, according to administration officials.

The plant, which has never actually operated, has sparked concern among neighbors worried about traffic, noise and pollution.

The controversy over the plant has roiled city politics for over a year. Neighborhood opponents have staged press conferences, planted red "Stop the Concrete Plant" signs in dozens of front lawns and pressured politicians to fight Cullion's plans.
