Magruder Renews Request to Construct Quarry Along Highway 54

A company that tried to open a new quarry in Lake Ozark last year is trying again now that the city’s political landscape has changed. Magruder has filed a rezoning request that would allow them to open a 371-acre quarry operation along Highway 54. If approved, the quarry would be located across the highway from Eagle Stop, formerly known as Rick’s C-Store. The same request was denied last year when the Board of Aldermen voted to uphold the recommendation from the planning and zoning commission. Since then the city has elected a new mayor and there are two new members of the Board of Aldermen.
