Residents of New Durham oppose a proposed 190,000-square-foot precast plant expansion due to environmental and quality-of-life concerns.
Residents of New Durham, Ontario, are opposing a proposed expansion by Stubbe’s Precast, which seeks to build a 190,000-square-foot plant and 90,000-square-foot warehouse on a 208-acre site near Harley Road and Muir Line.
The project, aimed at meeting growing market demand and creating about 100 jobs, has sparked concerns over increased noise, dust, light pollution, and potential contamination of private wells and the local aquifer.
Residents fear risks from respirable silica dust, a known carcinogen, and say the expansion threatens their quality of life, property values, and the rural character of their hamlet.
The County of Brant is holding a public meeting on February 10 to discuss the proposal, while excavation has already begun.
The site plan remains subject to approval and potential changes.
