The Cincinnati Enquirer More than 350 residents of Sayler Park pleaded with the Army Corps of Engineers on Thursday to save their riverfront from a cement distribution facility. They packed the Sayler Park Community Memorial Center to voice opposition to a plan by Lone Star Industries of Indianapolis to build the facility on the Ohio River shore.
Nobody likes change.
I think it will just ruin the view. Residents said two planned 100-foot silos at the facility, at 6381 River Road, about 12 miles west of downtown Cincinnati, would blemish the neighborhood, and the operation would pollute the air with dust. The corps, which can reject the project because of the effect it could have on the community, agreed to the public hearing after receiving more than 300 letters and a petition with more than 700 signatures, said Community Council President Mary Newman. Sayler Park is under a dire threat that could forever erode this wonderful community. The corps is their last hope, Ms. Newman said.
