We do have the occasional blast from the quarry. We don’t hear it but you can definitely feel it. In the early morning hours you can hear the cement plant and the trucks backing up (beep, beep, beep). But I do not hear the plant during the day.

For the specific area (Well Point) it is further away than we are to the cement plant and closer to the turnpike. I have driven on Marsh Bend at night and you can see the lights of the prison. It would depend on the specific location of the lot as to what you could see at night. Personally I think it is going to be one of the better new areas as it will be a lot closer to established amenities than the places south of 470. There is also the last part of Richmond that will be built that will be really popular because it is so close to Brownwood. Best of luck and make an informed decision.

Agree totally. WellPoint will be much better than Moultrie! Although very recently, the view lots in Moultrie were reduced by 40 thousand on the retention pond. Think they are now 59K. A month ago they were 99K? IMHO I would hold off.
