GUNTER, TX--The possibility of a new concrete plant is upsetting some residents in one small Texas community.
But, with a poor job market, representatives from the City of Gunter say it could be beneficial in the long run.
Amanda Massaro says she looked for two years before she found the perfect plot of land where she wanted to build her dream home and raise her family.

"We kind of wanted to find a place that we could have good school systems, and a good small town and be quiet and just live where I don't have to worry about my child playing in the front yard and that's kind of just what we wanted," Massaro, said.

Unfortunately, Massaro and her husband aren't the only ones who think the area just outside of Gunter is prime real estate.

A Frisco based company, Arbuckle Aggregates, wants to begin development on a 138-acre plot of land just off highway 289 for a concrete plant.

The area is directly across from where Massaro and her husband plan to build their home.

"You know this is our community," Massaro, said. "This is not what we want Gunter to be."

Massaro's parents just finishing building their home near the site.

The new plant could go up just 30 feet from where Massaro's property line ends.

"There's going to be five concrete plants, I mean it's just going to be absolutely horrible for me to look at. I mean that's not the view that we wanted, thats not the view that we bought," she said.

But from an economic standpoint, city officials say the new plant is a good idea.

"They're looking at 100 jobs, over a period of the next 5 years. Over 15-20 millions dollars in taxable property," Mark Millar, said.

The concrete plant could potentially become the largest employer in the city of Gunter, and possibly begin production within 24 months.

But that's just the opposite of what, Massaro's father and area property owner, Mark Pope, wanted.

"It's crushed me, to know that everything that I really wanted, and something that I thought would be great to promote for Gunter is life that's a little quieter and relaxed and away from the stress, free of the Metroplex, is gone," Pope, said.
