Community appeals to Jackson commissioners

Members of a grassroots citizens group rallying against a proposal to build a rock quarry in the Tuckasegee community of Jackson County will appear before county commissioners Thursday, Aug. 17, to plead their case further.
The United Neighbors of Tuckasegee plan to present a resolution to commissioners calling for the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources not to issue a permit to Carolina Crushed Boulder and Stone. The company has applied for a permit to operate a rock quarry on a 57-acre tract near the intersection of N.C. 107 and N.C. 281, and less than 100 feet away from neighboring residential property.
