Regulators reject Route 100 quarry in Morristown
The state Act 250 commission rejected a quarry proposal by Garret Hirchak’s company on an 89-acre property in Morristown due to health risks from silica dust and environmental concerns. The commission ruled the removal of the 8.5-acre hill over a decade was not incidental and deemed the project 'offensive and shocking.'
