Tire Pyrolysis

There is a tire pyrolysis plant that has been approved at Route 7 and Mountain Road where the facilty currently has a tire shredding facility.

Background:  The Zoning Rules State that Petroleum type processing belongs in a GI district but approved a plant that creates petroleum in a CI district right next to residential neighborhoods.
