Property values, traffic, dust, noise, pollution, and damage to our historical community … are just a few of the concerns on our minds after discovering a 350+ Acre Quarry is being proposed for a residential area right here in Historic Castalian Springs off Highway 25. Many neighbors in the area are still unaware of this plan to destroy our serene landscape and the historic environs surrounding this site. Rock quarries have serious negative effects on a community:
They decrease property values in surrounding neighborhood.
They create dangerous breathing and health issues for residents by sending large amounts of dust into the air for miles.
They overload and damage our roads with huge trucks, and some rock quarries increase truck traffic by 300 or more trucks per day!
They damage homes, split plaster, and crack wells, driveways and foundations. Quarry blasting can be heard and felt for miles.
Runoff from quarry sites can pollute our natural streams, poison farm animals, and contaminate our drinking water.
But YOU CAN Do Something to STOP IT!
If you share our concerns that this development will be a disaster for our area, please make every effort to attend an upcoming meeting of the Sumner County Zoning Board of Appeals. This meeting may very well decide if this project is allowed to proceed. The information for the meeting is posted below. Please join us and spread the word!
