The Stafford County Planning Commission on Wednesday, June 23, 2021, will decide whether or not to recommend approval of an expansion of the Vulcan Quarry.
Vulcan has asked the county to rezone nearly 50 acres of land that surrounds quarry in North Stafford, from agricultural to heavy industrial land. The move would clear the way for a new concrete plant to be built on the property and expand the area in which rocks are extracted from the Earth.
Vulcan has asked the county to streamline proffers and rezone land to get at a new cache of amphibolite rock used for paving roads within a nearly 600-acre stretch near Dun Rovin Lane, just off Route 610.
Since the 1990s, Vulcan had been buying up the parcel by parcel, spending over $12 million to acquire the properties. In 1990 and again in 2019, Vulcan acquired land from Clark Leming and Patrica Healy, who has been an elected official serving on the county's school board since 2000. Lemming is an attorney that has argued multiple land-use cases, like this one, before the Stafford County Board of Supervisors, which will make the final decision on the rezoning request.
