BENTONVILLE, Ark. (KNWA) –
In Lowell, a controversial rock quarry project will be presented to the Benton County Planning Board tonight.
The proposed quarry would replace 135 acres off of Old Wire Road, also known as the Cross Hollows Mines.
Nearby neighbors are concerned about the possibility of hazardous construction, noise and a significant decrease in property values.
On Monday, the Lowell City Council voted to oppose the quarry even though the site is outside of the city.
The meeting starts at 6 p.m. tonight in room 305 of the old courthouse in Bentonville.
