The Niagara Town Board is giving opponents of a proposed asphalt plant another opportunity to end the construction plan.
The project was approved by the Town Board in July, with Supervisor Lee Wallace saying the board believed the project didn’t have to go to the Niagara County Planning Board. As news circulated and the size of the project became clear, however, opposition mounted, including from the City of Niagara Falls and Niagara University.
The proposed asphalt plant would be located at 4660 Witmer Rd. in Niagara.

The plant would be located on Whitmer Road, near the Falls city line and NU, and is being proposed by AL Asphalt, the same company that wanted it located in Hamburg, where opposition killed the project.
