Last month, six residents filed a lawsuit claiming the facility emits “noxious and foul odors” that are difficult to ignore.
Residents have the opportunity to voice their concerns to officials before all comments are received and considered to make a final decision on the permit application.

Residents have expressed that this has been an ongoing issue for three years.
