New clay pit opened by A P Green Refractories on Highway 54
The A P Green Refractories Co has opened a new clay pit on Highway 54 south of Mexico on the Harry Todd property. It is the third pit on the site, with two previous pits used in 1973 and 1974 inside the land. The latest pit sits on the highway and a tentative reclamation plan aims to join all three pits into a single lake in coming years.
