Gallo plan coordindates with Parker

Lime was quarried extensively in the area as far back as the 1800s. Early mining operations processed the lime onsite in kilns, a process of "liming" which drew off carbonic acid leaving lime in its caustic state. A final "slaking" process turned the lime into a paste used to make bricks, mortar, paint and plaster. It was also a critical ingredient in glass, which is why the Gallo brothers bought the adjoining parcel.
