Citing major concerns over public health and safety, Dripping Springs city leaders Aug. 21 passed a resolution in opposition to the construction of a proposed concrete batch plant near Henly.
The move, which was the result of a 5-1 Dripping Springs City Council vote, came after residents voiced their concerns with the plant during the Aug. 14 meeting. Dripping Springs City Council member Travis Crow cast the lone dissenting vote.
Approving the resolution was one initiative Dripping Springs city leaders were able to take on the proposed plant, which is to be located in the 4900 block of west Highway 290. The city is limited in how it can regulate the facility, owned by Lauren Concrete, Inc., as it is located beyond Dripping Springs extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).
