(UPI) A spokesman for Coors Brewing Co. says the beer company belleves steadfastly in environmental preservation and improvement, but that still hasn't swayed a staunch group opposing the company in its land acquisition plan. Rockingham County officials and residents Monday night heard a spokesman for the firm say it would be sensitive to environmental concerns if it decides to build a brewery in the area. The hearing was to gather testimony on Coors' request for rezoning 238 acres of agricultural land in eastern Rockingham County for industrial use.
Coors' Harrisonburg attorney, Henry Clark, read a letter from the management stating that "at Coors Industries, an all program of environmental preservation and improvement I is the No. 1 priority. "We're determined that our company shall not contribute to air and water pollution or add to litter and solid waste problems," the letter informed the county Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission. "Environmental self-sufficiency is a concept we believe in at Coors, a concept we are practicing on a daily basis," it said. But the Virginia Poultry Federation, local doctors and' several persons who oppose a brewery on religious or grounds are against the rezoning move.
A petition from 31 local doctors called for a study of the economic and health effects of the proposed brewing plant. Some opponents also demanded an environniental impact and the agricultural interests called on the county to develop a plan that would balance economic growth between Industry and agriculture. Clark said that although Coors was asking to have 236 acres Erezoned, only 106 acres would be used for plant operations and -the remaining 130 acres would be left for greenery. The rest of the nearly 2,000 acres of land the company has Celther purchased or taken options on would be used as park or. -farming areas, he said.
Clark added that the company also has a long-term to area farmers for use of the land for production of agricultural products. He said it was possible that in 20 or.25 years, Coors might. -establish an aluminum recycling plant on the land. He said the multi-million dollar brewery would be built on the land in the mid 1980s only if Coors determined the project was -feasible. Coors is also considering Anson County, N.C., as a possible site for its planned East Coast plant, he said.
