III. PETITIONS & COMMUNICATIONS
D. Correspondence
(1) A Letter From Bessie Hawthorne Regarding A Proposed
Meat Processing Plant
Assistant City Secretary Moore read the following correspondence into the
record:
Proposed Meat Processing Plant
There are definitely some concerns about the meat processing
plant. Here are some of them.
Growth of Our City. Since Port Arthur is surrounded by Groves, Port
Neches and Nederland, it seems as though it can only expand by going
west. There is plenty of vacant property out here, and the EDC has done a
great job with the beautiful, well-kept and successful business park. Will
other businesses want to locate in such close proximity to a meat
processing plant?
Jobs. This plant may hire 200 people with most in low paying jobs. How
will this plant affect the other businesses in the EDC park. There are a lot
City Council Minutes 5
Regular Meeting —April 19, 2016
very successful businesses there employing many people. What if they
move out because of the issues with the processing plant?
Pollution. If there is a solution to the problem of smell, why isn't it
installed in the beginning instead of waiting until there are complaints?
Will there be a solution then??
Water & Sewer Lines. We don't need another Flint, Michigan just to
save money or to make a little more.
Traffic. Are we prepared to take care of the many trucks delivering
livestock day and night? What if they choose to come through Fannett and
Labelle to be able to enter the park on Hwy 365? This is an old two-lane
road with to narrow older bridges. If they use Hwy 73, the trucks cannot
turn on Jade Avenue.
Noise. If there are hundreds of cattle unloaded every day and night, how
will this affect the noise level in this area?
Property Values. Port Acres and El Vista residents deserve the same
consideration as other parts of Port Arthur and Mid-County. We have
many beautiful homes here, and we do not want our property values to
go down.
Promoters. Do any of the well-known names who are promoting this
business have any interest whatsoever in the Riceland Corporation? Do
they even live in the vicinity?
I am sure there are other things that should be considered. These
are just a few concerns.
Due to family illness, we will not be able to be at the meeting
tonight. I would like to hear the answers to these concerns.
