Neighbors Dig Deeper on Cancer Cluster | Newark News
Description
In Keyport, a grassroots movement led by resident Sal Liguori is demanding answers after alarming groundwater tests near an industrial site revealed contaminants above state safety levels.

Politicians are stepping in, with a congressman seeking federal oversight and an assemblymember ensuring access to care for all. The site’s potential buyer has pledged no housing development until cleanup plans are finalized — and the community won’t back down.
