A Louisville Metro Council member wants to re-open the case for a controversial concrete plant in east Louisville.

In a newsletter released on social media Monday, Councilman Anthony Piagentini said he plans to request the Planning and Zoning Board to re-open the design case for public comment and then make a new determination.

The concrete plant is under construction on Aiken Road across from Lake Forest.

Residents say they weren't properly informed of the plans, and they're concerned about air quality, noise pollution and traffic.

After an open forum last Thursday, Piagentini said he agrees.

In a statement, SI Ready Mix said they will be using a state-of-the-art air filtration system, and that landscape buffers will shield the plant.
