The potential bottling plant plans being discussed at the November 12, 2024, meeting were ultimately rejected after a 7 hour session on March 11-12, 2025, at Washington High School, which had 126 locals speaking against the plant. Factored into the Commission's decision was a report from the Jefferson County Landmarks Commission on the damage to Middleway's historic character that would be caused by a high volume of large trucks traveling to and from the plant.Acquisition
