I strongly support the proposal that the town of Westminster purchase the stone quarry on Wellington Hill, in the best interests of the residents.
The quarry would then be used exclusively by the town for road maintenance, repairs, and road building in Westminster.
I live near the site, near the bridge on Goldies Road. There will be many very unhappy residents in the northeast corner of Westminster if this parcel is purchased by a private business and operated as a commercial stone quarry. The noise, trucks, dust, and ground vibration would be continuous year-round.
This project would also provide the town with road material for many years to come, at a lower price.
