Population figures use area-weighted proportional allocation across 25 census block groups (Allen, Huntington, Whitley) intersecting this buffer. Each block group is weighted by the share of its area inside the buffer. Buffer measured from confirmed site parcel boundary (~710 acres; source: merged from Current Planned + Future Expansion outer edges).

What's Being Proposed

Heritage Group (through US Aggregates) is targeting ~1604 acres in the Little River Valley for acquisition, with ~710 acres proposed for industrial and quarry operations — including an open-pit limestone quarry, asphalt plant, and concrete batching plant — directly adjacent to neighborhoods, schools, and Eagle Marsh, the largest inland urban wetland restoration in Allen County. If approved, this would be a permanent, multi-generational industrial footprint on land surrounded by homes.
