The Hanson Aggregates industrial plant just outside of Oriskany Falls, NY is an amazing place. We happened to be driving down 12B and basically had to stop in the middle of the road. This is a fully functioning gravel processing facility that conveys material across the road. While there is no doubt that aggregate mining is environmentally destructive, there is a stunning beauty to this type of industrial fabric. And a quick consultation of the DEC website states that mineral production contributes substantially to the New York State economy.
