At a recent meeting held at Washington High School, over 500 community members attended as the Jefferson County Planning Commission voted against the Mountain Pure Water bottling facility proposed by Sidewinder Enterprises. The plan sought to establish a facility on the old 3M site and construct a waterline through Middleway to connect water sources with a treatment plant. Advocates, including representatives from local building trades, argued that the project would generate employment opportunities for residents.
