Action Alert: Willard City Plans To Expand Gravel Pit
Stop the plans before it's too late!
Willard City is planning to lease its rights in Willard Canyon to Granite Construction so they can continue gravel pit operations for another 20 years. This will bring nothing but dust and semi trucks to our community, decreasing our property values and ensuring we never get to enjoy the canyon and our views again. Now is the time to stop the gravel pit takeover!
