It was standing room only at Wednesday night’s Sahuarita Town Council meeting as opponents of a proposed hot-mix asphalt plant got the news they’ve been waiting 15 months to hear: Vulcan Materials has dropped its bid for the plant a half-mile north of Quail Creek.
The council made it official in a unanimous vote on a resolution that allows Vulcan to continue its mining operation while agreeing it will not now or in the future seek to put any type of asphalt plant on the site.
The agreement, which takes effect in 30 days, stays with the land, meaning if Vulcan sells the property the new owner would also not be allowed to operate an asphalt plant.
