By the time you read this article, you might already know that the Legislature recently voted for a zoning variance for plot No. 50-1 and 50-4 at Estate Orange Grove (East) on St. Croix to allow for the manufacture of concrete products, proposed by Senate President Novelle E. Francis Jr. Upon hearing this, a colleague turned to me and said, “This is craziness.” The rezoning, or variance, is right adjacent to Golden Rock Shopping Center, a school, neighborhoods, residential communities, a hospital, and other small businesses.
