The Strasburg Town Council voted Tuesday to allow an asphalt company, Strasburg-based Kickin’ Asphalt, to build a plant in the town’s business industrial park.
The vote on the plant was tight, with four council members expressing a wide variety of concerns about the plant and four members saying that the plant would financially help the Town of Strasburg. Mayor Rich Orndorff broke the tie and sided in favor of allowing the plant to be built in Strasburg.
Council member Jocelyn Vena said that the move would bring a company with a good reputation to the town’s business park.
“Where else can we get, for the first go-around, someone with the reputation they have?” Vena asked.
