In the 1960s the quarries were expanded in the area due to the increase of the lime production and starting a new lime plant in 1966. In the years of 1973-1977 a new cement plant (the Górażdże Cement Plant) was built in the nearby village of Chorula, which was one of the largest and technologically advanced in Poland at the time. Currently it is still operated and is part of the Górażdże Group S.A. which is the Polish leader in the cement, concrete, and aggregates production.
