Quarry Blocked for Health and Safety | Montpelier News

Regulators just nixed a controversial quarry plan in Morristown, calling it “shocking and offensive” — even though they approved the business park itself. The quarry, meant to fund the $8 million project by selling rock, would have destroyed a forest, kicked up toxic dust, and brought 30 daily truck trips. Residents won, as the state commission ruled it violated local rules and couldn’t be called “incidental.” The victory proves that standing up for health and environment can stop big development — even when money’s on the line.
