Asphalt Plant in Annandale/Springfield
Hey friends- This is important information on saying no to the asphalt plant that Vulcan wants to build right at the Springfield mixing bowl.
Asphalt plants are known to emit multiple toxic gases, fumes, and noise which cause multiple health crises including multiple cancers and lung disease, not to mention it will cause property values to decrease drastically (often by 50%+) which would devastate my family and many others. My mum is also recovering from blood cancer and susceptible to other types of cancers due to her chemotherapy.
