Petition is addressed to: Cannon County Zoning Board
We are asking the Cannon County zoning commission to vote NO on the expansion of Smyrna Ready Mix in Cannon County.
Reason
Smyrna Ready Mix has asked the county for permission to expand it's operations in the county. We, the people of Cannon County, would like to ask that this not be allowed.
The rock quarry is polluting the river, our source for drinking water through dust and debris in the river. It is damaging homes in the area with its blasts of dynamite. It is destroying the landscape of our beautiful county and creating an ugly scar on the landscape. It's dust permeates everything In the area especially HWY 70 and the homes nearby. The trucks present safety issues entering the highway. And there are many more issues to list.
We respectfully ask the planning commission to vote NO on the expansion. Keep Woodbury beautiful!

Why people sign
We live far away and still our home will quake every so often. A major part of the beauty that makes the entrance into Woodbury special is gone. The smoke is gross coming into town. John Bragg is thick with smoke at times. It is a health hazard and safety hazard. If it violates our space and our safety where we already reside then it is in breach of our rights and property.
I am concerned about my health overtime and also the potential damage to my house. I feel it shake each time the quarry blasts.
