The local organization ‘Save the Cedar River’ has promised to make a formal appeal against the construction of a new hot-mix asphalt plant in Renton.
has promised to make a formal appeal against the construction of a new hot-mix asphalt plant in Renton. Its proposed location is off State Route 169, just 150 feet from Cedar River.
“We pressured and pressured King County Council, and it fell on deaf ears,” Baker said. “Dunn did go and get a moratorium to stop the plant for six months, but no one else on the council would back him for a final moratorium.” The asphalt plant has been in the process of construction since 2008 when councilmember Pete von Reichbauer pivoted from the original plan of using the land for more housing.
The property was sold to Lakeside Industries for $9.5 million in 2016 after originally being valued at $1.3 million back in 2008. According to Lakeside president Michael Lee, they chose this site because “it’s got all the right kind of characteristics of a good site for an asphalt plant.”
