Blasting to begin near caves
Howe Caverns co-owner to hold meeting on plans for limestone quarry
HOWE'S CAVE -- Within the next two weeks, Cobleskill Stone Products Inc. owner Emil Galasso hopes to resume operation of a long-closed quarry a short distance from Howe Caverns.
Blasting will occur in the evenings, shortly after the last tours have left the caverns, which Galasso also owns with a business partner. The limestone will go to municipalities and other customers throughout central and eastern New York.
Galasso said "one blast, every two to three weeks," will be enough to shake loose the limestone. Galasso plans an informational meeting with the quarry's neighbors at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Howe Caverns restaurant.
