Members of the Strasburg Town Council expressed some concerns at a public hearing Monday about a proposal to build an asphalt plant in the town’s business development park.
A Strasburg-based company, Kickin’ Asphalt, has sought the council’s approval for an asphalt plant in the town. If the town does not approve the plans by granting a special use permit, the company cannot build the plant.
Plans to bring the plant to Strasburg’s business development park have been met with criticism from some local residents, who fear it could harm their health and the value of their houses. Those residents live in a development about 2,000 feet away from the asphalt plant.
