As residents and concerned citizens of Shawnee County, KS, we strongly oppose the construction of an industrial park, including a proposed ethanol plant in NW Shawnee County. We believe that rezoning the proposed location is inconsistent with the established character of land use and emphatically wish any such request to be denied. In addition, issues such as water availability, air and water pollution concerns, waste management issues, devaluation of property, reduced access to Highway 24 (for personal and emergency access), increased fuel truck traffic on an already dangerous highway, and other general health and safety issues support our opposition.
