The Appeal Window Closed. No Appeal Was Filed.
On June 25, 2026, Heritage Group's 30-day window to appeal the BZA's 4–0 denial expired without an appeal being filed. The denial now stands as a final, uncontested zoning record. The community gathered to celebrate.
What Is Being Proposed on Homestead Road?
Heritage Group (through US Aggregates) is targeting ~1604 acres in the Little River Valley for acquisition, with ~710 acres proposed for industrial and quarry operations — including an open-pit limestone quarry, asphalt plant, and concrete batching plant — directly adjacent to neighborhoods, schools, and Eagle Marsh, the largest inland urban wetland restoration in Allen County. If approved, this would be a permanent, multi-generational industrial footprint on land surrounded by homes.
