For those who may not be aware there has been significant discussion and concern about a Magnesium recycling plant planned right next to our community.  Around the first of January there was a post on the Nextdoor website talking about the plan and now several discussions that include community leaders has evolved.  It was not widely known that the piece of farm land at 9300 Rawles Ave was zoned over 50 years ago as Industrial. Trinity Metals is trying to purchase the land and build a 60,000 square ft facility that also includes a 60′ smoke stack.  There was a meeting scheduled with the company, city leaders, and residence on January 24th but the meeting was postponed after Trinity Metals had not yet received permits from IDEM.  Look for the community meeting to be rescheduled soon.

This proposal is very concerning  because of environmental, human health, and property value impacts.  Our area is highly residential, there are schools, churches, waterways, and outdoor recreational venues that will be in shadows of the smoke stack.   We encourage all of our neighbors in The Woods at Grassy Creek to keep a close eye on this and make your voice heard.  At some point there will be a Zoning meeting with the city which could be vitally important for us as a community to attend.   Many links to the discussion can be found on Nextdoor.com.  There is also a small amount of information available at the Warren Township Library.  We will try to provide information as it becomes available here on our community website.
