Hi All,
Did you read the editorial in Saturday's Record? The battle may have moved
closer to our Region.

so sad to read in today Record that over 30 homesteads were torn down for
this quarry. All for nothing.  I wonder if anyone photographed them and
wrote about their stories.

Highland withdraws Melancthon quarry plans


The proposed quarry in Melancthon is dead.
On Wednesday (Nov. 21), The Highland Companies announced it has withdrawn
its application to the province for a licence to mine 2,316 acres of land in
Melancthon for limestone. As a result, Highland plans to continue to focus
on its farming operations.
"While we believe that the quarry would have brought significant economic
benefit to Melancthon Township and served Ontario's well-documented need for
aggregate, we acknowledge that the application does not have sufficient
support from the community and government to justify proceeding with the
approval process," John Scherer, principal of The Highland Companies, said
in a news release.
Highland also intends to discontinue its efforts to restore the rail
corridor through Dufferin County. In addition, Highland announced that John
Lowndes has resigned from his role as president and has no further
involvement with the company.
