"Constructing such a project across the street from Wellcome Middle School and in the backyards of a senior citizen neighborhood demonstrates a lack of concern for the safety and welfare of the students and senior citizens who call the area home," said Dr. Garrie Moore, President of the Brookhaven Community Association and one of the petitioners.
"The city not only ignored the testimony of residents and experts, but kept its procedures and practices out of sight from the public in clear violation of state law," said James Huey, Counsel for Environmental Justice at SCSJ.
"By granting the special use permit, the city ignored all concerns about the health of a historically Black community and the risks to the children of Wellcome Middle School," highlighted James Huey.
