The Yukon government is moving forward with its own plan to open up development of the Stevens Quarry site, says a senior official with the
government’s land management branch.
Susan Antpoehler said in an interview Tuesday the government expects to have plans back by the end of March from the consultant hired to look at the best way to go about making the known gravel resources available.
It’s possible that access to quarry leases could be available later this year through a standard public process, she said.
The manager of client services said it’s difficult to say how that might unfold but however it does, it will take community concerns fully into account.
