February 24: Chemtrade Rezoning Public Hearing

There is a public hearing at 7 pm at DNV Municipal Hall to allow the DNV Mayor and Council to gather public input on the rezoning of the Chemtrade facility at 100 Amherst Ave. If approved, this rezoning will let Chemtrade continue to produce chlorine gas at that location for the foreseeable future. In return, Chemtrade has indicated they will build extensive new safety systems to make their plant even safer than it currently is. We maintain a page discussing this rezoning request and documenting everything we know about it.
