ALLEN COUNTY, Ind. (WANE) – Efforts by a grassroots organization opposed to a proposed quarry in southwest Allen County have entered a new phase with a social media campaign.
The proposed quarry would be located off Homestead Road near the intersect I-69 and US 24.
The “No Quarry on Homestead” group leads the main propellant behind the quarry’s opposition. The group has hosted regular community and informational meetings since murmurs of the project started.

We’ve got ten thousand signatures on our petition.
