No Columbus MN Asphalt Plant
We oppose any asphalt, concrete or any heavy Industrial facility be allowed in the light industrial corridor along Interstate 35 in Columbus, MN. Any such development is a public water source threat and health hazard.
Why is this important?
The citizens of Columbus MN, Lino Lakes, Forest Lake, Hugo, and Centerville all face a public health and environmental threat. This threat comes in the form of a proposed asphalt plant which is to be located in the flood plain, adjacent to Rice Creek, removing several acres of wetlands sitting on top of the primary aquifer that supplies the entire twin cities metro area. Please sign our petition and help us block this attack on our environment.
