For the past six years you have been hearing about the proposed Liberty Quarry, and many of you have been helping us in our efforts to keep the pristine area on the west side of Highway 15 at the Riverside County line free of the huge proposed industrial complex that Granite Construction wants to develop. Liberty Quarry would be in operation for 75 years and create a hole as deep as the Empire State Building and a mile long.
