Silfab is packing up and leaving our community because we refused to let them steamroll us. They thought they could ignore local families but they were dead wrong. Stay sharp because we need to keep watching these corporate hacks until they are completely gone.

As of 11/7/2024, we have 3 legal actions going on to fight this solar manufacturing plant and move them to a safe location away from schools, homes and businesses. Our legal team needs you to sign a petition that includes your address so we can verify that these are local residents that are signing. We are therefore closing out this petition.

Please go to the link below and sign that one.

Silfab thinks they can just walk into our neighborhood and ignore the risks to our homes and schools. We are keeping the pressure on them through every legal channel available while they continue to act like we do not exist.

there is already too much traffic and congestion in this area. ft mill has grown like crazy in the last few years and critical infrastructure is way behind. also a plant with chemicals that close to a school and residential housing? no. move that farther out.

Not only will this cause significant dangers to our children and families but it will absolutely lower home values because no one will want to live here. This is absolutely atrocious and should not be built anywhere near schools or Housing

I am a fort mill resident and mom of 3 children the fact that York county is even entertaining this proposal is insane our children are way more important than then any economic benefits gained by allowing this plant in our town so closed to densely populated areas

There is NO good reason a factory of this caliber needs to move into a bedroom community that is filled with families, school, wildlife, and agriculture alike. As a breast cancer survivor, this makes me sick to my stomach. Get out of Fort Mill!!

This plant which uses dangerous chemicals should not be this close to schools and neighborhoods. Move it to a remote location in the county if you want to keep it This is not a highly industrial area and should not be used as such. Do not change the zoning

This is madness given the heavy water and air pollution that will take place. This is a warehouse that they will retrofit into a mfg. plant not designated or zoned for heavy industrial. We are zoned for light industrial. This must me stopped immediately.
