Abstract:
There are over 200 crushed-stone quarries in the state, producing about 75.7 million tons of rock worth $589 million in 2005. Most of the rock is used for road work and other construction projects. Buying land for a quarry and getting all the local and state government permission required to operate it takes between five and eight years. Because of this, many quarry operators buy or lease sites that are already approved.
