The east coast may feel the cement shortage soon, as demand for the key concrete ingredient exceeds supply, according to industry experts.
To date, only a handful of states which rely on imported cement--including Florida and California--have felt the pinch, with the New York area remaining unaffected by the shortage.
However, last month, Joseph J. Ferrara, of Ferrara Bros., one of the largest New York suppliers of concrete, received a letter from a cement company saying there may be future rationing of the compound.
