Rock quarry in the cards for northeast Georgia

A public information meeting today will center on the prospects that a Georgia company will open a rock quarry near Lavonia.  Vulcan Materials is holding a meet and greet this afternoon with people living near the proposed location for the quarry, highway 59 near the Lavonia city limit.  The company spent $3.5 million for 225 acres there.  Lake Hartwell Radio WLHR quotes a spokeswoman for Vulcan Materials/Georgia as saying the company plans to put in a rock and gravel quarry but has not yet applied to Franklin County for permits.
