On Tuesday night, during a meeting of the Clay County Commission, homeowners brought forth their concerns, expressing worry over what could happen if the land ends up in the hands of developers.
Developers previously wanted to build a subdivision on a piece of land that used to be the old Solite plant. The business was shut down for illegally burning hazardous materials in the 1990s.
Homeowners are concerned the land has not been properly remediated and they worry about the health implications people could face if homes are built on the land.“I can tell you from firsthand experience that watching your child fight Cancer is something I would wish on no one. Holding your child’s hand while poison is pumped through their veins to try to save their life is an experience like no other,” Ladd said.
“For 28 years commissioners have been kicking this can down the road,” said a resident who lives near the former superfund site. “The buck needs to stop here. I want you to do something.”
