The proposal met with a deferment late last year, following comments from Louisville attorney Michael Tigue, representing the Meade County Quarry.
A second public hearing was held Jan. 13 preceding the Meade County Fiscal Court meeting. After that meeting, the matter returned to the Meade County Planning and Zoning Commission where it’s ultimate fate could be decided.
