Proposed Business Faces Opposition in North Reno

In the driveway of her beautifully designed stucco home, Denise Edwards walked us over to show off the view from her backyard…"We have the beautiful view, and there's a nice apartment complex that's in now..."When Denise built her house, she didn't picture a rock crushing mill just 80 feet away from where she was standing. But that's exactly what she and her neighbors might get in a space formerly used by a headstone maker years ago. As Denise told us, "I'm really scared about the air quality and peace of mind and you just can't put a dump in the middle of all these homes."

A company plans to use the site to recycle concrete and asphalt. Now homeowners in the University Ridge area in north Reno are fighting back. The crushing machine would be a half mile from Lee McCord's home. She told us, "You're talking approximately 2,000 residents here, Portable crushing machine,sacrificed for one business that has no business coming here!"

The project's already been approved by the Reno Planning Commission.crushing equipment Manufacturers, But Lee and her neighbors say this rock crushing operation will fill the air with dust, semi-trucks will fill their streets and the noise will be unbearable. Even before the real work begins, Denise tells us "The beeping already with just the little trucks they do have has literally driven me crazy."
