📣 Have You Experienced Noise, Dust, or Traffic Issues Near the Gravel 
        Pit? It’s Time to Report It.

Heidelberg Materials claims they've received only two complaints in the past year as part of their justification to build a concrete batch plant in our community. Yet, many residents experience ongoing issues daily.

If we don’t report it, it’s like it never happened. Now more than ever, every complaint counts.

🛑 Why It Matters:

Heidelberg is telling decision-makers that residents aren’t concerned. Let’s prove them wrong with facts and numbers.

Report it. Document it. Speak up. Every report strengthens the case to stop the batch plant. Even small incidents matter when they add up.

Let’s protect our air, water, peace — and our future quality of life.
