Lawsuit Filed To Halt Construction of Plant

A local resident has filed a lawsuit to halt construction of an asphalt plant.Last month WBRY reported about an asphalt plant under construction on John Bragg Highway.  A 30-day window had opened for public comment pertaining to an air pollution filter permit.
One comment has been filed, not in Nashville but in the county.  County Chancery Court to be specific.
Local resident and attorney Nathan Luna filed a petition earlier this week seeking the removal of the asphalt plant under construction at the intersection of John Bragg Highway (Highway 70 South) and Bradyville Road.
The basis of the lawsuit is the Scenic Highway System Act.
Respondent is a Tennessee limited liability corporation whose principal place of business is located in Wartrace, TN. Chris Hawkins is the registered agent for Defendant at the same address.
