In its next meeting, Henderson Fiscal Court will hold a public hearing concerning a request to temporarily close a portion of Mason Landing Road. Patriot Coal Co. would like to mine through the road. If approved the road would be closed for 18 months beginning during the summer of 2005. Patriot Coal would then be required to rebuild the road to modern standards.
