Proposed Concrete Batch Plant on Old Kings Road

Opposed the concrete batch plant due to a lack of environmental impact studies, air/water pollution risks, and threats to local residents and seniors.

Highlighted community opposition, lack of resident awareness, and announced an upcoming community meeting with Council Member Pittman on September 10.

Argued that the batch plant proposal is a result of historical redlining placing undesirable industrial uses in cheap, vulnerable neighborhoods.

Pointed out health hazards of cement dust, chemicals, and heavy truck traffic near homes and schools, urging thorough homework before approval.

Expressed concern over 700 nearby homes, senior populations, well water dependency, and proximity to Pickett Elementary School.
