We can live with a little odor for jobs
This letter is written in regards to the new WastAway plant. I don’t live directly in the neighborhood where the plant is located. I’m in the neighborhood daily visiting at my parents’ home. I’ve heard there are a lot of complaints from ones living in the area of an odor coming from WastAway.
As with any company just starting out, there are quirks and adjustments to make. If people will just be patient, WastAway has stated in articles more than once they are working to resolve this issue. I feel they need to be given the chance to show what they can do.
My parents had the opportunity to attend the open house a couple of months ago. They came back talking of the different things our daily garbage can become. You would find it amazing as to what everyday garbage can create, things such as park benches, fence posts, parking curbs and lumber.
The talk I’ve heard is that WastAway is going to be one of the biggest things to ever happen to our county.
We hear all the time of people being out of work. Our county is being given the chance for people to work.
I think we all can live with a little bit of an odor to let people who have been out of work have the opportunity to have a great job with a promising future.
As a city resident, I encourage you to get behind WastAway and support them in their efforts to create jobs for people.
Even if the plant were located in my neighborhood I feel I could have enough patience to put up with a slight odor until it can be resolved to know people are getting jobs.
