The Spirit of Jefferson reports that the Jefferson County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Nov. 12 regarding a proposal by Sidewinder Enterprises LLC to develop a 1 million-square-foot water bottling facility on the former 3M factory site in Middleway. The concept plan includes 596 parking spaces to accommodate employees, but it lacks specifics about the water source and quantity needed for the bottling operation. A hydrogeological assessment from April 2022 indicated the existence of two test wells near the proposed site.
