Future of Pike-Idexx Consent Agreement Unclear

AJ:

Officials at Pike Industries are "exceptionally
disappointed" by a Westbrook City Council decision to table a proposed agreement
to let Pike resume operations at its Spring Street quarry. The agreement
included restrictions designed to protect nearby homes and businesses such as
Idexx Laboratories. But many residents and businesses said the protections
weren’t strong enough, so the council on Monday voted 7-0 to table the consent
agreement until October so that further negotiations with those groups can take
place.
