Dozens of Town of Worcester residents oppose proposed quarry and asphalt operations
Summary
Multiple Worcester residents submitted letters and spoke against three related zoning items at the May 21 Price County meeting, with opponents’ letters read into the record and numerous in-person comments during public hearings on the Janak & Sons gravel pit and American Asphalt plant.
Town of Worcester residents submitted numerous written objections and many spoke at the May 21 meeting during public hearings on zoning items tied to N9510 E. Solberg Lake Road.
Letters from at least a dozen households were read aloud during the hearing, and residents including Marianne E. Kerner, Mary Kurth, John Reams and others testified in opposition. The minutes show the letters addressed multiple agenda items (the Janak & Sons conditional use permit, the Janak reclamation plan, and the American Asphalt conditional use permit). Committee members acknowledged the volume of communications, read the letters into the record, and moved the permit decisions to the June meeting to allow additional review and potential conditions.
