A Springfield school is concerned that a proposed ready-mix concrete plant will pose problems for students, because of noise and concrete dust in the air.
The State Journal-Register reports the Montessori Children’s House objects to the zoning variance that would allow the plant to operate in an area that is currently zoned residential.
An attorney for the plant says it will put systems in place to control dust and address other concerns.
If the plant is allowed to go forward, it is expected to employ eight to eleven people.
