James Maloy and Dr. Ron Saff, members of the Concerned Citizens of Gadsden County (CCGC) and Floridians Against Incinerators In Disguise presented information on the Gretna Biomass Incinerator to Gadsden County School Board.
David Gardner, Director of the Gadsden County Chamber of Commerce was recently quoted in the Tallahassee Democrat as saying “Wednesday’s announcement in Gretna was the culmination of three years’ worth of effort, including the determination of an appropriate site and building community support.”
The Gretna Biomass Incinerator will be located on property adjacent to an elementary school with a 100% minority student population, a nearby residential neighborhood and a women’s correctional facility located directly across the street.
Reginald James, Superintendent of the Gadsden County School District stated during the presentation that CCGC was the first to bring the information pertaining to the Gretna Biomass Incinerator to the attention of the School Board. After 3 years of “building community suport”, no effort had been made by Gadsden County, Chamber of Commerce or City of Gretna Officials to properly inform the school board or the community – we are still waiting.
