I keep reading about what great people the McLains are. People need to understand that we are not questioning their charcter. It doesn't matter who it is. We want no one to put a biodiesel plant in our neighborhood.
I am a neighbor of Snow Creek area. We all are good stewards of the land. That's the point! We do not want the air, water, noise pollution, foul water runoff to our wells, ponds, Snow Creek and Yakin River; Nor do we want extreme truck and tanker traffic on our small road that school buses and inexperienced high school students drivers are on everyday. Several hundreds of truck and tankers will be traveling 7am to 7pm Monday through Saturday every week. This is the Iredell County commissioners who passed the R20 zoning before to protect our homelands now changing to M2 Industrial Zoning to now allow a CHEMICAL PLANT sitting shoulder to shoulder with homes instead of where it belongs in an Industrial park where safety is a high priority. It's time for the Public to have a wakeup call to zoning laws. Now's the time to be aware or you too will have to fight to keep it out of your "backyard".
After hearing a lot of the testimonies and reading comments I don't understand how the McClains haven't just changed their own minds on the issue. There seems to be such an obvious and ethical answer to this in moving to another location, but yet the debate continues. It's sad to think it may have now become a battle of pride and antagonism on their part.

What I notice about the area map is what a huge amount of land the McLains own. It's like Walmart vs Jordan's Texaco. I'm for the underdog!
