We're hearing County Mayor Gentry is quietly telling officials to prepare for the closing of CR 971, where the head start is located. If the quarry is permitted, CR 971 will be directly in the middle of the 421 acre quarry operation, with a giant conveyor belt overhead. Some speculate the County doesn't want the liability of giant rocks and boulders being conveyed over 971 from the quarry pit to the asphalt plant, concrete pipe plant, brink manufacturing plant, and ready-mix plant. We also imagine the insurance premiums for such an operation would be astronomical, so it's cheaper for the developer to just have the road shut down. Wonder how this will sit with members of the Hiwassee Baptist Church along 954?
We believe the County Commission will be forced to take a vote on closing this road - please call your County Commission members and tell them to keep this road open!
well, I just hope that it does not effect the bluffs or the rope swing. I love swimming there :)
ReplyDeleteI am a member of Hiwassee Baptist church and I was unaware that a "Bruce" goes to our church. Noone at Hiwassee Baptist church wants this quarry and noone wants to close the road. This would be a Major Inconvenience! Before you make a statement on behalf of the church you need to talk with the members of the church.
ReplyDeleteBruce, when a giant rock the size of a small car falls on your car off of this conveyor belt, you will have an oppertunity to discuss this matter with Jesus face to face.
ReplyDeletemocking our faith is un-christian you should be ashamed Fisherman. I was at the meeting and other than a few people we agreed we should try to be supportive
ReplyDeleteJeremy - they will be dumping the quarry garbage into the river right above where you go swimming.

ReplyDeleteWhy does your church have NO TRESSPASSING signs posted all over the place.??I Thought a church was open to every body..I have passed there several times when people are outside the church,and every one seems to have a scowl or no one ever waves or smiles.. You guys hate every body??
