We have 2 things to share.

1) We have until February 23 to voice our concerns about the application for Air Quality Permit. That’s 3 short days.

EMAIL! CALL! You CAN make a difference! Let them know we care about the air we breathe! Details are in the comments!

2) Just to share, here’s the statement from Carroll County:

“As required by the Court, the County issued a certificate of zoning compliance to Green Rock in October confirming the zoning of Green Rock’s property allows for a rock quarry. It is the County’s understanding that Green Rock has been in the process of seeking a surface mining permit from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. Green Rock has recently requested the County reissue the certificate of zoning compliance with an updated date as required by the EPD. The County will continue to comply with the Court’s order by reissuing the certificate of zoning compliance. The court order also required the County to issue a commercial building permit for the construction and operation of a rock quarry on Green Rock’s property, which the County will also comply with.”

Citizens Opposed to Carroll County Rock Quarry

For Immediate Release-
Wednesday, September 21, 2022

Carrollton, Georgia - Carroll County government officials filed an appeal on August 22, 2022 with the Georgia Supreme Court against Green Rock, LLC. Green Rock responded to the appeal by the September 1, 2022 deadline. On Monday, September 19th, the Georgia Supreme Court unanimously decided to deny the application for appeal. Unfortunately, Carroll County has no other legal options available to pursue.

“While we are disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision to deny our application, this is not the end of the road.” said Tonya Spinks, co-founder of Citizens Opposed to Carroll County Rock Quarry. “We are not ready to give up the fight for the health, integrity, and well being of our neighbors and community as a whole.”

“We are not going to leave any rock unturned,” said Wilson Pate. “There is too much at stake and there is no doubt that Green Rock won’t stop with Carroll County. Our coalition is committed to continuing our mission of stopping the rock quarry and ensuring a safe and peaceful future for the citizens of Carroll County and the surrounding area.”

Citizens Opposed to Carroll County Rock Quarry is an independent coalition of Carroll County citizens and other concerned partners.

We want to clarify misinformation regarding the 9/19 public hearing about development

Hey Neighbors! Just to let everyone know, MULTIPLE "No Rock Quarry" signs were illegally removed in the Whitesburg area.
We have identified the individual who trespassed and took the signs from your yards!
Our friends at the Carroll County Sheriff's office took our report. Many of the signs were returned (some damaged).
We worked today returning the signs we knew were missing. If you are missing one out of your yard, message us, and we can get you one!

Those of you who are missing signs, let us know. Check your yard! 🤯

Y’all!
Be on the lookout, No Quarry signs on Blackdirt, Hutcheson Ferry, Wilson Road, and Highway 5 are mysteriously disappearing! Someone has taken numerous signs in the last few hours!
Check your Ring cameras and trail cameras. Send us the footage.

Need a sign? We have some available!
The fight isn’t over.
It’s time to remind our neighbors that we are still united when we say NO ROCK QUARRY!
