Our home is very near the site of the proposed biodiesel refinery on Snow Creek Road. We still cannot believe that our good neighbors would even consider locating this facility here. We would never consider operating such a plant in a rural community, endangering people not only from toxic chemicals, but also from heavy tanker truck traffic.
And Commissioner Robertson, we are not "scared to death of chemicals." We actually know what we are talking about. We understand the importance of chemistry in our daily lives. We DO NOT understand locating a chemical processing plant in a rural community. Also, Commissioner Robertson, the chemical causing part of our concern is METHANOL, not METHANE.
By the way, thanks for telling us how easily and safely biodiesel can be made "in a high school lab." Perhaps the students can find instructions online, as is also the case with bomb-making. "Very easy stuff," according to Commissioner Robertson.
We do not believe for one second tht McLain Farms does not have the money to locate this plant in an industrial park. How could our county commissioners pretend to believe this?
Did they even question this statement by Phil McLain? Why not?
Why did only one commissioner, Sarah Haire-Tice, stand up and support the R-20 zoning which was already in place? We have many more valid concerns.
As concerned citizens, please join in the fight to reverse this irresponsible decision by OUR county commissioners. To endanger lives for financial gain is just plain WRONG! Please defend our rural quality of life! Please contact us at North Iredell Neighbors for Rural Life, 991 Snow Creek Road, Statesville, NC 28625.
