Who We Are
No Quarry on Homestead is a community-led organization formed to protect the Little River Valley in Southwest Allen County, Indiana from incompatible industrial development.
We are neighbors, parents, teachers, healthcare workers, farmers, and residents who believe that the Little River Valley deserves a future that honors its natural, community, and economic assets — not one that sacrifices them for 80–100 years of industrial extraction.
Our Mission
No Quarry on Homestead is a community-led effort to protect the Little River Valley from incompatible industrial development and to ensure that land-use decisions support the long-term health, safety, and prosperity of Southwest Allen County.
We believe in:
- Transparent information — We cite only verified sources and publish our data openly
- Responsible planning — Growth should strengthen communities, not endanger them
- Community voice — Residents deserve meaningful participation in decisions that shape their future
- Environmental stewardship — The valley’s wetlands, waterways, and natural systems have value that cannot be replaced
Our Story
No Quarry on Homestead formed when residents of Southwest Allen County learned of a proposed rezoning application to bring an open-pit limestone quarry, asphalt plant, and concrete batching plant to the Little River Valley.
We came together because we believe this is a decision that will shape the valley for generations — and that residents deserve to be heard.
