Description
The city of West Haven is promoting the construction of a highly polluting asphalt plant in the vicinity of the West River neighborhood. Asphalt plants are major sources of toxic air pollution emissions. This plant will add to the already poor air quality, in the greater New Haven area.

West Haven continues to destroy itself through bad planning and zoning, i.e. chasing big box store development, reliance on cars for transport, and neglecting pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and, in the case of this proposed asphalt plant, destroying the environment and the local economy.

this is an important issue. new haven has worked to reduce pollution from power plants and other point source polluters. our efforts are useless if west haven develops a project like this.
BTW, the SCF tag "Pothole" doesn't apply to this issue. An appropriate tag would be "pollution"
