To whom it may concern:
What did the people of Lenoir do to deserve such bounty?
First the county shoves a "mountain" of trash - from God knows where - down the community's throats. Now
Abbington Rd. Is a 24/7 trash hole and loaded with huge vehicles that stray over the driving lines constantly.
Now, the elected officials think a clay mining operation just up the street is a great idea? Once the clay for the
county (that is really what this is about, correct?) is used, the pit will be abandoned and the mess will remain. More
huge trucks. More mess for the residents of Lenoir.
Seriously, how could any commissioner vote to approve this? The people of that valley have already been treated
horribly.
I live in the Coves and close enough to be concerned as well. Please reconsider this mining operation and buy the
county's clay for the "trash mountain" somewhere else.
How about one of the neighboring communities whose trash we take gets the mine and shares their clay with
Caldwell county.
