Please stop suggesting a biodiesel plant at the old FCX. Some people in the community have worked hard for almost 20 years to get the place cleaned up.
Now we are seeing some success, and another company is spending lots of their time and money cleaning up Burlington Industries, which is behind FCX.
You may consider us a heavy manufacturing area, but we have lots of homes all around. A lot of this moved in on us.
We don't just have school buses going by and others driving to school, we have a school with hundreds of children only a couple blocks away.
I'm glad you have researched these plants. I know it is a chemical plant and a flammable product. I know much more about cleaning up FCX. Research on FCX might be a good idea before it is suggested as a site.
You only have county commissioners to work with, who are responsible for this.
We had to work with the federal government.
I know you don't want this plant, I don't blame you, but think of other people, their property and families before you suggest another place.

Ms. Abshire, we, the Iredell Neighbors, do not want this plant in ANYBODY'S backyard. This was a suggestion made by someone who is at least looking for other options. No one should have to worry about this facility being located near their home.
