A new concrete supplier could be open in Brooklyn by August.

Joel Westin, owner and president of Bridgewater Ready Mix, said his company and South Shore Ready Mix are teaming up to reopen Liverpool Ready Mix.

“South Shore Ready Mix operated a plant in Brooklyn for many years and was forced to close that due to dwindling market,” he said Tuesday.

“We’re hoping the two of us will have enough business in this area to support us reopening this plant. It’s a significant investment and it will create better service for businesses in Queens County and also some employment.”

He said the time is right with a large wind farm development being planned for Milton.

Westin said Tuesday the business could eventually employ up to three people. But it will begin with one.

They hope to have trial batches going through the plant in July, Westin said. The plan is to open by August.
