GLENWOOD SPRINGS— —Garfield County commissioners are set to hear a controversial new plan today to turn a piece of property located next to the Eagle Springs Organic farm southeast of Rifle into a contractor’s yard for an asphalt manufacturing and paving company.
The first regular Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) meeting for September takes place starting at 8 a.m. today, rather than Monday, due to the Labor Day holiday.
A public hearing is scheduled as part of the afternoon session to consider Bedrock Resources LLC’s land-use change permit application for a contractor’s yard, to be located on a 35-acre site just east of the Garfield County Regional Airport along Mamm Creek Road.
In February of this year, Bedrock, represented by owner/manager Charles Ellsworth, was denied permission by county commissioners to relocate an existing asphalt plant from Bedrock’s current location south of Silt to the new site, which it had just recently purchased.
