As you’re probably aware, there is a proposal to allow a huge 500-acre gravel pit in the Richland area. There’s a chance that, if approved, it could expand to as much as 2,200 acres in the future.

We feel this project would cause irreparable harm to our area. Property values could decrease over an estimated $30 million and convoys of 40 to 50 dump trucks could be barreling along our roads regularly spreading dirt and dust everywhere.

We urge you to fight this effort. Please make your view known to the planning commission by contacting them at:

Communication to the Planning Commission via email should be sent to: bpriest@richlandtwp.net.

We will also be holding a Zoom Meeting online to coordinate our actions in opposing this mover this Wednesday, December 9th at 7:00 PM ET. You can log onto this meeting by clicking here.

We hope you will join us in our continuing efforts to improve and safeguard our community!
