ARCHDALE, N.C. (WGHP) — An Archdale community is standing against a proposal to bring a concrete batch plant to their neighborhood. Developers Brad and Alisha Riley are seeking to rezone nearly 23 acres on Old Glenola Road for industrial use, following a previous denial of the project last year. Tavern in Old Salem sold; to be renovated and reopened Nearly a year and a half after the original decision, the fight over the proposed concrete batch plant has reignited, with residents determined to block it once again.  Bren Knox, is a resident opposed to the plant, “The emotion is anger! Why would you come back after the community let you know that we did not want concrete in our community? Why would you disrespect the homeowners and the decision of the city council?” The Rileys believe that misinformation and misunderstandings fueled the initial opposition. “I would have never in a million years think we would get the blowback that we’ve gotten,” Brad Riley said. “Really, it’s because of the amount of misleading information and the amount of people that showed up. I really think it was intimidating for the board members.”  The couple argues that the land is suitable for industrial use, as it is already surrounded by two other concrete businesses. They contend that the growing demand for concrete in the area justifies their proposal. “We will be mixing rock, sand, gravel, cement, and water into a truck, and we will have dust collection systems. There will be very minimal dust,” Brad Riley explained. Community member have continued questions over potential environmental concerns, “Think about mixing a cake! It takes cement to make concrete! What will be coming off that cement? The particulate matter!”, said Bren Knox. The Planning and Zoning Board has already recommended denying the rezoning at its meeting earlier this month. Despite this, Riley maintains that the facts support their proposal and hinted at alternative plans if denied again. “Maybe I’ll develop it. I don’t know, maybe put chicken houses out here—something that can make us some money,” he said. Knox in response said back, “How would you like chicken houses? At least it will provide food from homeowners!” The Archdale City Council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, where a final decision on the rezoning will be made. Residents on both sides of the issue are expected to attend and voice their opinions.
