HTN: Mining Company Wins Court Case

Mining operations will be allowed to expand at a quarry in Cheektowaga. New York State's highest court has sided with Buffalo Crushed Stone, allowing the quarry to excavate land across Indian Road. The court stated that it was unrealistic and unreasonable to require the quarry to have mined all of its 280-acre land before town zoning codes restricted operations in 1969. The high court's ruling also allows for mining on two parcels near Como Park Boulevard.
