Proposal to blast mine the San Joaquin River deadlocks on key early vote
CEMEX's proposed blast mine near the San Joaquin River faced a 3-3 deadlock vote by the Fresno County Planning Commission, effectively denying the project. Residents and commissioners expressed concerns about environmental impact and alternative locations. The decision will likely be appealed to the Board of Supervisors, which has previously supported CEMEX. The company aims to extract hard-rock granite for asphalt production.
