Block proposed Martin Marietta asphalt plant on Weddington Road.

Take time to think about the children who attend Carl Furr Elementary School! Scientific investigations into possible health effects from long-term worker exposures to asphalt fumes have entered on potential cancer effects, but also on chronic lower respiratory tract irritation effects such as bronchitis. Think also on how this will lower property values. The nearby hotels will feel the effects of this, also. No one wants to smell this! Put it AWAY from our neighborhoods! We have a WONDERFUL subdivision in Riverwalk. We moved here for the convenience and safety it has to offer. We value our property and I guarantee none of the MM asphalt plant executives will choose to live close by! FIGHT THIS WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!!

Won't be able to stay in neighborhood if this is built. Enough trucks and issues around here to not have this.

This would be horrible for the people that live in the nearby communities!

In typical fashion, some folks look at economic gain rather than quality of life for those impacted by such a proposal. I would love to see whether the administrators of this plant would be willing to live next door to it. I absolutely oppose this plant near our homes where it can not only cause all kinds of emotional and physical consequences, but will also affect our local elementary school, local businesses and property values. Enough is enough.

I live in Gable Oaks neighborhood. Please do not approve this plant so close to homes and our precious children's elementary school!

Isn't it bad enough that we truck trash in from all over the East Coast already? What are they trying to do to our community? I say no to this as the air quality is already so bad that I can't go outside some days because of my asthma and this plant would definitely make things worse for my health.

this plant should NOT be built anywhere near schools or housing developments.

This project should be moved far away from our fresh water river that flows through our neighborhood. We do not want this here and will remember any Politicians pushing this on the next Election day.

This is insane.

no to plant

I am adamantly opposed to having an asphalt plant practically in my back yard. It is too close to a residential area. The blasting from this facility is bad enough. I do not relish the thought of potentially toxic chemicals and the stench of an asphalt plant. This plant would be too close to an elementary school and a neighborhood with many children.

Not a suitable area for an asphalt plant. Too residential. Large housing development & apartment complex. It's bad enough that a high school was built right next to a landfill.

please no we already have the blasting zone and we have lots of kids around we don't need the smell and the chemical pollution!!!

This type of plant needs to be built somewhere out in the country where families do not live and small children do not attend school. Surely there is another location that would be more suitable but not on Weddington Rd in Concord.

I vote no!!

No to toxins!

We have had enough of this with the drag strip and the garbage dump. We are to old to want to move. Please vote no for this . PLEASE...

An industrial zoned are of Concord would be more appropriate location for such a facility.

We do not want an asphalt plant next to our neighborhood!!!

First the Bruton Smith fiasco which led to promises and requirements that have gone unfulfilled. These have impacted everyone from Highway 29 to Weddington with noise and air pollution. Now the area is being struck again. Property values dip as does quality of life each time these proposals come near residential areas. Fifteen years ago, we were Harrisburg and since we became officially Concord, we have been going in the wrong direction. Do something constructive there instead of destructive!
