In 1975, in anticipation of eventually turning the area into a waterfront park, the city condemned the property on which this concrete plant stands, turning Mr. Ferrera from a landowner into a tenant; he's been renting his land back from the city ever since. There was talk of finally evicting the plant a few years ago and replacing it with a residential development and some parkland, but that plan appears to have gone nowhere.
