Summary
The commission approved Western Rock's proposal for a temporary portable concrete batch plant on the northeast corner of airport property to support nearby construction; Milford City funded a $10,000 FAA study and final FAA/state permits remain required.
The Beaver County Commission voted Feb. 3 to approve a conditional-use proposal allowing Western Rock to locate a temporary portable concrete batch plant on the northeast portion of the Millburn/Millford airport property to serve a nearby industrial project.
Western Rock representatives told commissioners the plant would be portable and staged in a way that could reduce truck traffic through town by parking mixers at the airport site. The company said Milford City paid $10,000 for an FAA study that is still pending; final FAA approval and state permits were identified as prerequisites before the company would mobilize equipment. Planning and zoning reportedly recommended the proposal unanimously.
Commissioners asked about site access, fence lines and the state- and FAA-level approvals still required. The board’s approval was conditioned on the applicant meeting applicable FAA and state permitting requirements. County staff will follow up with the applicant and Milford to document outstanding permits and the FAA study results.
