Lafarge North America (LNA) has asked the Lockport Town Board to rezone its land on the south side of Hinman Road to make space for a second quarry in the area – in a report by The Buffalo News. The company plans to quarry 195 acres in four phases over the next 40 years.
LNA has pledged to make $500,000 available to pay any claims made by residents who would be eligible for cash payments to compensate for damages or lower property values resulting from blasting or heavy truck traffic connected with the new quarry.
