GiaQuinta and Miller issue statement on proposed quarry project

House Democratic Leader Phil GiaQuinta (D-Fort Wayne) and State Rep. Kyle Miller (D-Fort Wayne) issued a joint statement on the proposed limestone quarry project in Allen County:

"We have heard from many constituents across Allen County opposed to the proposed limestone quarry, and we want them to know their voices matter. We join them in opposition to the proposed development.

"We support economic development that creates jobs and strengthens our region. But development must be compatible with the communities it surrounds. This proposal raises legitimate questions about air quality, groundwater, wetland preservation, and the long-term character of a neighborhood that includes schools, a major health campus and thousands of families.

"We encourage all affected residents to attend the May 26 public hearing at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum and make their voices heard."
