A Pennsylvania construction company wants to build an asphalt mixing plant in Fauquier County near the airport in Midland that could operate 24 hours a day, producing up to 300 tons of asphalt an hour.

The construction of a new heavy use industrial asphalt plant requires a SPECIAL EXCEPTION from the Board of Supervisors — which they should NOT approve.

According to VDOT, this new asphalt plant will require an average of 400 new truck trips per day on an already congested Route 28 in what is supposed to be a rural, agricultural area of Fauquier County.

This same company tried to build an asphalt plant in Prince William less than a quarter of a mile away from an elementary school, but was DENIED by the Board there.

We are a group of concerned citizens rallying against this new asphalt plant, making sure they are DENIED here too!
