Minister says "Yes" to Rural Plan, "No" to pits and quarries

To cheers and applause in St. Andrews on Wednesday night, Minister of Environment made the announcement that we wanted to hear.

"I am announcing tonight that I will not amend the plan to allow for a pit or quarry operation and I am stopping the current rezoning process", said Haché.

"We have considered both sides of the issue and I have made my final decision."
