Voters at the Prospect annual town meeting Saturday morning will be asked if they want to approve a six-month moratorium on industrial development in the shoreland zone that could throw a cog in a proposed granite quarry and crushing operation. The moratorium, which town selectmen last month asked to place on the town meeting warrant, comes in the wake of a major industrial proposal for Bowden Point. Salmons Inc., a Virginia-based company that has bought most of Heagan Mountain in Prospect, wants to quarry granite there, crush it and ship the processed rock by barge to Virginia from a 710-foot pier jutting into the Penobscot River.
