How long before they make it into a parking lot?

How long before they make it into a parking lot?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's a gravel quarry. If they're anything like the "Dump-truck Mafia"* in MA, they will:

1. Dig it all up -- 1600 year old Roman cemetery included

2. Charge some builder big $$$ to haul the gravel to his site

3. Leave a big hole

4. Dig up another historic or scenic site

5. Charge some builder big $$$ to haul the gravel to fill in the hole where the Roman cemetery was.

6. Build a parking lot there...

*Think I'm kidding? Ever see whole fleets of monster dump trucks with spotless custom candy-color paint jobs and gold pin-striping -- driving faster than even the BMW drivers? Locals call them "Public Enemy Number One"...

No, the parking lot will be where the 12th Century church is. A Wal Mart SuperCentre will be built on the graves.
