Neighbors and Business Clash Over Quarry Truck Traffic

A small town in Warren County is facing a big problem. The issue? Too many trucks from a nearby quarry.

Residents Speak Out

Residents say the heavy traffic is causing damage and danger. They've had enough and asked for changes.

The town listened. At a recent meeting, officials agreed to limit the number of trucks. Now, only about 25 trucks per day can use the road near the quarry. That's a big drop from the usual 100 trucks or more.

Quarry Disputes the Decision

But not everyone is happy with this decision. The quarry's attorney says the new rules are unfair. He believes the limits could hurt the business. He also said no one did a proper study before making these rules.

Mayor Stands Firm

The mayor disagrees. He says the quarry has been shipping out more material than needed. The mayor thinks the problems started a few months ago. He believes the new rules are necessary to protect the town.

Finding a Balance

This is a tough situation. The town wants to keep residents safe. But the quarry is an important business. Finding a balance won't be easy. Both sides need to work together to solve this problem.
