Judge remands Martin Marietta decision to Weld commissioners for more explanation

The saga of an under-construction Martin Marietta Materials asphalt plant in unincorporated Weld County isn’t going away just yet.

The Greeley Tribune reports that a Weld County District Court judge this week is requiring that the Weld County Commissioners provide more explanation of their approval of the project last year. The commissioners have until mid-October pass a new resolution more specifically outlining why they believed the project met certain criteria.

The Martin Marietta project had, and still does, face stiff opposition from neighbors of the site, who say it’s incompatible with the area’s rural setting.
