Northern Iredell County is a beautiful part of Iredell County. The majority of the people who live in this area take pride in their property and many have had their land handed down to them from their families for generations.
The proposed bio-diesel refinery on Snow Creek Road would be detrimental to the people who live in this area and to the value of their property. This is heavy-manufacturing business that should be in an industrial zone, not in a rural residential, agricultural community.
With this refinery would come more trucks, farm equipment, storage tanks and traffic in the area. The traffic congestion would not be limited to Snow Creek Road. There are buses with school children that travel in this area and this refinery would only increase the danger for their daily commute to school.
All of the citizens of Iredell County should be concerned about this refinery since the McLains have farm land all over the county so the Snow Creek community will not be the only ones affected.
We all know that one day how you treated your neighbor will be more important than how much money you made.
I feel that it is the duty of the Iredell County Zoning Board and the Iredell County Commission to make the right decision for the Snow Creek community and all the citizens of North Iredell County by not allowing this biodiesel refinery in our neighborhood.
