Alamance County group pushes for zoning change as heavy industry grows
A group in southern Alamance County is pushing to preserve the rural community and keep more heavy industry from setting up shop and is asking county commissioners to consider a new zoning proposal that would help make that happen. The Snow Camp community is filled with agricultural farmland and a rich history. Its Quaker roots go back to the mid-1700s. This rustic part of the Piedmont is also attracting big business. Alamance Aggregates secured a mining permit for a rock quarry. Blasting began last fall.
