      The gravel pit proposal in the Town of Spring Prairie didn’t end with the Town Board’s rejection last week.

The matter still has life as it will be considered by the Walworth County Zoning Agency on Thursday evening. And while the county usually sides with the wishes expressed by town officials there’s no guarantee it will in this instance.

The county’s consideration of the gravel pit proposal is among the stop stories in this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press.

Copies of the newspaper will be available at area retail outlets on Thursday. Subscribers will receive their copies with Thursday’s mail. To arrange for weekly delivery, click here: SUBSCRIBE
