Clermont, Fla. — Cemex US (NYSE: CX) recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of its Four Corners Sand Facility in Clermont, a new operation expected to produce about 1.2 million tons of commercial sand each year for Central Florida construction projects.
Local builders will have access to sand and aggregates used in concrete, asphalt and infrastructure work. With its modern design, the operation creates a reliable regional supply that strengthens local supply chains, supports affordability, and helps meet Central Florida’s growing demand for hospitals, schools, homes and other essential infrastructure.
“Four Corners strengthens the region by providing an affordable and reliable source of sand and aggregates needed to build essential infrastructure, from roads and schools to hospitals and new homes,” said Jeff Bobolts, Senior Vice President of Aggregates for Cemex US. “These materials keep projects on schedule and help control costs for families and local businesses. We’re proud to serve this community and grateful for the many partnerships that made this facility a reality.”
Local officials said the project will support economic development and improve access to construction materials needed across Central Florida.
“The Four Corners facility supports the infrastructure we rely on every day, from roads and schools to hospitals and housing,” said Lake County Commissioner Sean Parks. “It reflects a strong partnership between business and community, one that strengthens our workforce and enhances the quality of life for families across Lake County.”
Commissioner Leslie Campione said Cemex US has been an active civic partner. “We’re really fortunate in Lake County to have Cemex US as both an employer and a partner,” she said. “Anytime we’re in need of assistance, they step up, whether it’s supporting educational programs, STEM initiatives, the Boy Scouts and so much more. I truly appreciate that commitment.”
David Colby, president and CEO of the South Lake Chamber of Commerce, said the facility will help support local businesses by improving access to the materials needed for community projects and keeping construction costs more affordable.
“This new facility not only brings good-wage jobs, but it will produce the aggregates and cement that go directly into the homes, schools and commercial buildings rising across our region,” added Colby. “Building materials produced close to the job sites reduces costs, shortens timelines and supports local businesses. It’s exactly the kind of economic impact we want, and Cemex is exactly the kind of corporate partner we want helping to build our future.”
The Four Corners site uses a dry-sand production process with a plate and filter press system that recycles water inside the facility, reducing water use.
The facility is located at 16231 Schofield Road, Clermont.
