B. Alco Groves Mine Conditional Use Permit

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting · 2026-04-16 · agenda_item

A conditional use permit is under review for a proposed mining operation on approximately 980 acres located south of Indrio Road and west of I-95. The project, proposed by Alco Groves, plans to mine about 311 acres in phases over a 10-year period. The operation would involve creating five mining cells, dewatering systems, and measures to control dust and noise. This project is currently under review and requires major site plan approval by the Board of County Commissioners. The work would likely involve site clearing and grading, extensive dewatering and underground utility work for settling and recharge systems, and potentially road improvements including a turn lane on Indrio Road. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, heavy equipment operation, and utility work could find opportunities. Suppliers of construction materials and equipment, as well as environmental consultants, may also be needed. Reaching out early before final site plans and permits are set could provide a competitive advantage.
