Nevada County officials reject Grass Valley mine reopening
(FOX40.COM) — The Nevada County Board of Supervisors again voted unanimously against reopening the Idaho-Maryland Mine in Grass Valley.
The board had previously voted in December to not allow Rise Grass Valley, which bought the mine in 2017, to resume gold mining operations.
The board said it listened to six hours of public comment over two days before voting.

“This has been a fair and consistent process,” said Board of Supervisors Chair Hardy Bullock.
“Supervisors have been engaged and heard from the community and the applicant. Our job is to reflect the values and vision of our community.”
The mine was previously one of the most profitable in the country before its closing in the 1950s.
