Granby gets another chance to weigh in on gravel project

GRANBY - The Select Board will hold a public hearing Monday to further consider a gravel pit permit allowing for the removal of 323,800 cubic yards of material over the next three years.

Gagliarducci/Stony Hill Sand & Gravel Co. is the applicant. If the permit for the project is approved, it would mean that each day 40 to 60 tri-axle trucks would haul the material over Trompke Avenue, Batchelor Street and down several surrounding roads.

Pedestrian safety, environmental impact, noise and road damage were among the concerns raised by area residents at a public hearing held in June.

The hearing is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. and will be held inside the town's new Council on Aging Building, at 10 West St.
