I read they built and opened this plant before they were even licensed and approved for it.
Paraphrasing one of the comments I read at an earlier story: Who builds a damn fertilizer plant yards away from a school and a nursing home?
I thought I read where the fertilizer plant has been there for 60’ish years?? Maybe it was out in the boonies when it was first built??
The fertilizer plant was there first.
Good grief, the plant has been there for decades. Before so many rules and regulations. Probably long before the town expanded out there and built the school and nursing home. The only problem they’ve had with the regs was a few years ago and they fixed that problem. Blame the town for growing why don’t you. Blame the people for building a town along a major highway and railroad. Oh no, they built their schools right by the RR tracks!!! What if a kid wandered onto them! Oh no, there’s a major highway running right by people’s houses!!! Have you bothered looking at a map to see the layout of the town? There’s open fields behind it and it’s about the last building in town. It’s a little nothing spot in the road that grew up between I-35 and the railroad in the 1800s with farm land all around. There is absolutely nothing there for tourists to stop for except their annual single weekend Westfest celebration and to grab some kolaches.
