ILWU Local 10 opposes the cement export dock proposal in Vallejo, CA. “ILWU Local 10 supports the citizens of Vallejo in their opposition to the proposed Vallejo Marine Terminal project,” said Local 10 Predient Ed Ferris, right. “It would be quite irresponsible to support this proposed project at the expense of the health of the environment and the local community.”
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
A battle over Vallejo’s waterfront, and competing visions of the city’s future, had been expected to come to a head Thursday night with a City Council decision on a plan to build a large cement mill and shipping terminal on the city’s south side.
But the City Council, on a split vote, put off the decision, approving a resolution to have the applicant come up with a better description of the project in six weeks, finish a final environmental impact report then reconsider the issue by January 2018.
Hundreds of people showed up Tuesday, some lining up an hour early, for a public hearing that lasted 7 ½ hours. Similar crowds showed up Thursday to listen for four more hours.
