Residents near Kokosing construction plant in Maple Heights upset over noise, odors

Carl Gaglione, of Forest Avenue, Maple Heights

MAPLE HEIGHTS — “Some residents near the asphalt plant operated by Kokosing Construction Co. are complaining about odors and noises.

The effort to rectify the situation is being led by city employee Carl Gaglione. He wants the plant to move, or homeowners to be bought out.

“This year is worse than last year and last year was the worst ever,” Gaglione said of the plant, owned until 2007 by Schloss Paving Co.

During a City Council meeting July 15, Gaglione and others complained about noise, vibrations and bad air.”
