Far Rockaway Demands Plant Closure | New York City News
Description
Residents in Far Rockaway are demanding the shutdown of a concrete recycling plant they say is poisoning their neighborhood with toxic dust, calling it environmental racism. Located across from public housing, the Inwood Material Terminal has drawn ire for its pollution and waterfront operations. Despite the company’s claims of cooperation, regulators and community leaders are pushing for closure under new state environmental justice laws. Legal action looms as the Town of Hempstead files charges over zoning violations. Neighbors envision a cleaner Jamaica Bay and safer waterfront — a future free from industrial blight.
