Residents of Pierceville Township spoke against the development a sand quarry run by Huber Sand in Pierceville at the June 7 Finney County Commission meeting. A Board of Zoning Appeals meeting is being held on June 16 at 9 a.m. at Garden City Hall in Commission Chambers as Huber Sand has filed an application for a conditional use permit to run a sand gravel quarry in Pierceville. The land is currently zoned as “A” Agricultural and is generally located at South Main Street and East Avenue D. The property straddles the Finney County and Gray County line. Pierceville resident Dionisio Garcia expressed concern about a quarry being developed there, one reason being an increase in traffic, making it unsafe for his children, and that the sand trucks would be driving on city streets.
