The City Council unanimously voted NO on the rock quarry!! Thank you for all the support and help. Georgia Stone could still appeal it to Superior Court. But let's hope they won't overturn it. Thank you again
Please help us stop the quarry! Please sign and comment as well. If you live in Douglasville, make sure you comment when you're at home so that it shows Douglasville. If you can put your address as well, that'd be great. Please share with your friends and family!
Stop Georgia Stone Company from putting another rock quarry in Douglasville, Ga on W Strickland. It will create terrible traffic between S Flat Rock Rd and the first railroad crossing. They're talking about a truck in and out every 1-2 minutes! They also want the train to stop there which will cause more traffic jams! It will also decrease property value, create dust, and noise pollution. There are also 16 migratory birds, 2 endangered species, and many creeks and streams that will be affected. Let's stop the quarry now!
The city council meeting is set for January 12 and January 17 at the Conference center downtown. We need the support for people against the quarry.

Douglas County has no need for another quarry. It won't produce any new jobs and the existing quarries serve the purpose. Our environment needs to grow with a different business focus. One that does not harm the environment of the county or endanger our riparian systems.
The train in itself causes so much difficulty for those crossing the tracks. Stopping it for trucks,that will also endanger the children and elderly that walk around here, will just cause more train accidents.
I lived in Douglasville for 5 years...the blasting would wake me up. The quarry is too close to town.
Our downtown has made such great progress and with the closing of 92 at Campbellton we are poised to become a vibrant walkable intown neighborhood that can attract good restaurants, shops, and cultural opportunities. Please don't take a step backward at this juntcture!
I'm concerned with the impact that could be caused to the water shed south of the proposed rock quarry. Also the property value impacts that would be caused by the land-use proposed that would add a blight do all the land values around this property
Please let me know the status of the rock quarry. I have not heard any updates in almost 2 years

8381 Timberlane Dr. My neighborhood is right down the street from the proposed site. My neighborhood is already being ruined by huge housing development going in right behind us. This would be the final nail in the coffin for this neighborhood.
