Our children deserve clean air to breath. Our neighborhoods deserve better stewardship of the lands that surround them. Please do not approve the Silfab Solar Panel Manufacturing Plant.

The downside is too great. History tells is yhat these places are ticking timebombs. Not if there will be mishaps, but when. Build the plant, West of the Mississippi where there are miles of unpopulated land. Speaking of land. What would this fo to my home value, that I have worked literaly decades for. No Plant.

Please do not change the zoning for this company. Dhec has determined there are three toxic chemicals that will be released.

There is no reason to have a plant with hazardous, toxic chemicals, near children, schools or residential areas.

Board of Zoning Appeals: Vote NO to Silfab Re-Zoning Request As a concerned resident of our town, I am compelled to express my serious reservations regarding the rezoning proposal submitted by Silfab. The nature of their operations, involving hazardous materials essential to solar panel manufacturing, poses significant health and safety risks to our community. Among the substances utilized by Silfab is Silane, a chemical recognized for its high degree of combustibility and potential to cause severe harm to human health. The mere presence of such a volatile substance within close proximity to densely populated areas, including schools and residential neighborhoods, raises substantial safety concerns. It is crucial to acknowledge that exposure to Silane, even in low concentrations, necessitates stringent safety protocols which seem to be insufficiently addressed in the proposed operational plans. Furthermore, the manufacturing process for solar panels is not limited to Silane but involves various other chemicals and materials that could pose additional risks. The handling, storage, and potential accidental release of such hazardous substances merit rigorous scrutiny and robust safeguards to prevent any adverse impact on our locality. It is concerning that other regions with stricter regulatory standards have opted for more controlled environments for similar manufacturing processes, which emphasizes the leniency observed in our current regulatory approach. This leniency could potentially lead to preventable environmental and health hazards that would affect us all, from young children attending nearby schools to elderly residents and local wildlife. Given the collective apprehension shared by various community groups and the irreversible damage that could arise from such a rezoning approval, I urge you to prioritize the health and safety of our community in your decision-making. Please consider these risks seriously when evaluating Silfab’s rezoning re

The proximity to large suburban homes and families concerns me. The transport of dangerous chemicals to this plant also concerns me. Vote no. Move this out of the chartlotte metro region

Common sense should tell all (looking at you Board of Zoning Appeals) this is a bad idea. Common sense would also tell you to look out for the people in the county, especially our children.
