The Crittenden Press visited the area's newest limestone rock quarry a few days ago. We will have a feature article on the Slats Lucas Quarry in this week's printed edition. The quarry, operated by Warren Paving of Hattiesburg, Miss., is named for a long-time local quarryman. It's located near Pinckneyville on the Cumberland River in the edge of Livingston County.
Jonathan Gilland of Fredonia is the quarry manager. He took us on a tour of the site and gave us an up-close look at some of the heavy duty equipment.
Stay tuned for video footage, too, which will be posted at
www.the-press.com Wednesday.
