KUAF

Published January 24, 2020 at 5:38 PM CST

Neighbors who oppose the expansion of the Hunt-Rogers Quarry packed the Washington County Planning Board meeting on Jan. 23, 2020.

The Washington County Planning Board tabled a permit request from Hunt-Rogers Quarry at its meeting Thursday. The company is seeking to expand its quarry operations outside of Springdale. Dozens of people came out to oppose the proposal and some planning board members said they felt uncomfortable approving the expansion plan in its current form.
