Limestone can be used to produce other useful materials including cement, concrete and glass
It is cheaper and therefore more economically viable than many other building materials such as marble
Using local stone to build new houses makes them aesthetically pleasing next to older, traditional houses
Limestone is found naturally, so it can be quarried easily
Quarries create jobs locally for quarry workers and contractors
Better roads will be built to cope with traffic for the quarry, which will benefit everyone in the local area
Quarry workers will provide business in the local community for cafes, restaurants and transport networks
Other industries such as cement makers will be attracted to the area as an exciting business opportunity
