What you need to know for next week
L Asphalt Corporation's controversial proposal. Plans to build a new hot mix asphalt plant in the city of Hamburg will go before the city's planning authority next week as the project's environmental review continues and two months later, the city council has effectively banned asphalt plants.
Cheektowaga plans to build the facility using the 53-acre site south of Elmview Road zoned for heavy industry at 5690 Camp Road. The site is used for concrete and plant mixing and truck maintenance, and there is a vacant lot to the south of the industrial areas.
The proposed asphalt plant covers less than one hectare. At 70 feet tall, the silos will be the tallest feature, but they are smaller than the cement-concrete storage silos elsewhere on the property.
