Your Two Cents On The Concrete Plant

Follow this link to an ongoing discussion about a concrete plant that has been proposed for the stone quarry at the end of town. The Madison County Planning Board voted in favor of rezoning at a public hearing July 21st. The proposal will next go before the Madison County Commission. Put in your civil two cents.

(correction 8/2/09: This post previously erroneously reported that the Marshall Planning Board voted in favor of the rezoning, they in fact, passed a resolution opposed to the concrete plant. The plant would be located outside the town's jurisdiction, so their vote was a non-binding.

It was the Madison County Planning Board which voted in favor of the rezoning, passing the decision on to the Madison County Commission.)

It was not the Marshall Planning Board that voted in favor of rezoning. The parcel is outside of Marshall's jurisdiction. In fact, Garry Moore, Chair of the Marshall Planning Board, read a statement on behalf of the board that opposed rezoning. The Madison County Planning Board voted to recommend to the County Commission that the parcel be rezoned. Therefore, you should contact your county commissioners about this matter before the next meeting.
Ellen Pearson, Member, Marshall Planning Board
