Plans for a concrete recycling plant in Fort Worth, Texas, are taken off the table because resistance from residents, a report by the Star-Telegram says.
The plant was going to be built along East First Street, across from Gateway Park, the report says. The landowner, Wallace Hall Jr., withdrew the project in front of the city’s Zoning Commission on June 8.
At several meetings with surrounding neighborhood associations, residents told Hall their concerns about air pollution, noise pollution and truck driving through the neighborhoods, the report says.
The land is north of a park where the city is currently spending millions on improvements, according to the report, and near a site where the city built two bridges and made road improvements. A median near the site was recently a part of a beautification project, the report says. About 2,000 blooming trees were planted in the median.
