The public is invited to a Strata Quarry Community Information & Listening Session tonight (Thursday, October 25) at 7pm at the New Life Baptist Church at 605 Minnesota Street North in Ortonville.
A plan by Strata Corporation of North Dakota to develop a granite aggregate quarry just south of Ortonville, in Ortonville Township, Big Stone County, along the Minnesota River is an issue dividing the community. Governmental bodies and citizens are at odds over the proposal. Publicly available information about the project’s status is in short supply.
In order to support the public’s right to know and shed light on the proposed Ortonville Quarry Project, its history and its possible future, you are respectfully invited to attend this public event convened by The Ortonville Township Board of Supervisors and Township Planning and Zoning Commission.
Refreshments will be served.
