ADEM approves permit for controversial Athens plant
The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has issued an air permit to Grayson Carter & Son Contracting, which plans to build an asphalt plant on seven acres just outside the Athens city limits. The land was previously inside city limits before being de-annexed, meaning it’s not subject to city zoning codes, and at least one city councilman says he wouldn’t have voted for de-annexation if he had known an asphalt plant was going there. – AL.com
