Vulcan Materials Company officials who logged onto their laptops last Tuesday to discuss a company rezoning request no doubt knew they could be walking into a (virtual) lionâs den.
But they had no idea theyâd be on the menu. And maybe, just maybe, having a bite taken out of their backside might have caused some rethinking by weekâs end.
The company, which has operated a rock quarry off N.C. 8/Germanton Road since 1959, had formally requested rumored rezoning for a 78-acre parcel it owns nearby to build a holding facility to store sand and rock byproducts produced during blasting.
