Commissioner raises neighborhood concerns about proposed quarry near Airport Acres
Unidentified Speaker 9 alerted the commission to neighborhood concern in Airport Acres, an area behind Lewiston Elementary School, saying residents believe an outside group intends to begin blasting and strip‑mining on property adjacent to private lots. The speaker described a prior large email campaign tied to a different quarry proposal and said current organizing appeared to come from a commercial marketing group rather than neighbors.

No formal motion or vote was taken on the floor; the item was raised as an issue to monitor and potentially place on a future agenda. Commissioners did not record a disposition, but the speaker said they had attended community meetings (at Wheeler's United Methodist Church) and planned to pursue the matter with staff and neighbors.

The transcript does not include technical details about proposals, plans, rezoning applications, or permits. Commissioners or staff were requested to follow up outside the meeting to determine whether a formal application or county action is imminent.
