Pawtucket residents, City Councilors and other environmental activists (FANG, BASE, NO LNG PVD, etc.) are opposed to the building of this toxic spewing asphalt plant which is also being placed in a low income area thus unfairly impacting People of Color.
Not only do these types of plants not belong in areas inhabited by people at all, but especially in urban areas where pollution is ALREADY high.
We need to LESSEN health impacts of carcinogenic agents on people and their children not INCREASE THEM.
Why is this important?
I am a resident of Pawtucket and I want to see all sorts of conditions IMPROVED for the city I and my neighbors live in, not degraded by this high impact asphalt plant. There is no reason to place such a plant in this or any such urban area near residents. The plant would threaten the health and safety of all people, both nearby and those in the path of winds blowing fumes.
