JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Murray Hill residents are getting the chance to share their thoughts on an odor control plan for an industrial plant that’s the cause of a lingering smell in the area.

The open house style meeting is on Thursday at the Kent Campus of Florida State College of Jacksonville from 5 to 7 p.m.

Residents will learn more about the air operation permit renewal application from IFF Chemical Holdings.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection will be at the meeting along with representatives from IFF.

IFF said in a statement that it looked forward to the opportunity to hear from the community.

IFF appreciates the chance to participate in the process related to renewing our Title V air permit. The State of Florida has some of the most stringent air permitting regulations in the country, and Title V permits ensure compliance with both state and federal environmental laws.  IFF remains in full compliance with our Title V air permit.   Throughout more than 20 years of operation at our Jacksonville facility, we have utilized best-in-class technology and robust monitoring processes to ensure that we are preventing air quality impacts and complying with all applicable laws. We look forward to continuing to work with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection throughout the permit renewal process.
