My grandparents, Felipe and Cirila Rangel and their family lived in Cementville. My grandfather, Felipe worked in the quarry. Many of our relatives still reside nearby and are members of St. Anthony de Padua Catholic Church.

This has to stay open. Reason being, my grandpa grew up and worked there. My family, including my mom lived there as well. It's a historic place not only to our family but many others that lived in cementville

They should have tried to keep more than the smoke stacks and a piece of machinery. They should also keep their word.

I grew up hearing stories of old Cementville from my mom and aunts of how they'd play with everyone in their neighborhood. Most of the people I call family aren't even blood, they were just close friends of mom when she was growing up. To desecrate what used to be Cementville with more high rises is to show disrespect to everyone who lived there and everyone who grew up learning about such a tight knit neighborhood.

Why is it that everything that the unfortunate people have and love is always taken away from them to benefit the people of wealth!

Please Save Cementville a beautiful place where I grew up. Where kids could go out and play anytime of the day or night and where we all knew everyone person living there.

The quarry should have already been considered an American Landmark just like other historical monuments.

It can't be allowed to build townhomes or whatever else, this is part of a lot of our Hispanic history and should be recognized as such.
