The most important decisions about the Little River Valley will be made by elected officials, appointed boards, and county planners — and they respond to constituent contact. Here is how to make your voice heard at every stage.

📞 Contact Your Representatives

Officials respond to constituent contact more than almost anything else. Pre-written email, phone, and public-hearing scripts are ready for you — personalize with your name and address, and send.

Key decision-makers: Allen County Commissioners · Allen County Plan Commission · Board of Zoning Appeals · Your Allen County Council representative · Indiana State legislators for Southwest Allen County

🏛️ Attend Public Hearings

Public hearings are where community pressure becomes part of the official record. Showing up — even if you don’t speak — matters. A packed room sends a message.

Hearing dates are not always announced far in advance. Check the Timeline regularly and follow our Facebook page for alerts.

If you speak at a hearing:

  • Sign up to speak before the meeting begins (usually at the door)
  • State your name and address for the record
  • Keep your statement to the allotted time — typically 3 minutes
  • Focus on one or two personal concerns: health, your children’s school, the wetlands, property values
  • Bring neighbors — numbers in the room matter as much as what’s said

📢 Spread the Word

The broader the coalition, the harder this is to ignore.

📣 Share Your Story

The most powerful testimony comes from real neighbors — your distance from the site, your children’s school, your health concerns. Plan Commission members and Commissioners need to hear from people like you.

How to submit your story: Email noquarryonhomestead@gmail.com with your name, neighborhood, and a few sentences about how this quarry would affect you. With your permission, we may share your story on the site or at public hearings.
