No Canadian Based Solar Manufacturing Plant in Fort Mill

Don’t want families to worry about something like this!

Dear Zoning Board of Appeals Member, Silfab is definitely not light industrial when they have toxic air pollution and toxic water waste that has the potential to kill or permanently injure people, animals, and our environment. They need to be relocated to a heavy industrial area where it's not next to two schools, with 2500 students, neighborhoods and businesses. It’s just not right for our community!

This is not an appropriate location for a plant with a high level of toxic chemicals. It should not be approved.

This is detrimental to our families and CHILDREN. This cannot be allowed, and I would seriously question the character of our community leaders if this is moved forward.

No, we don’t need this here

GTFO

No for solar manufacturing plant.

Horrible horrible decision to let them in. Think of our kids

Dear Zoning Board of Appeals Member, I recently learned of the plans to build a solar panel manufacturing facility 2 miles from my house. Silfab is definitely not light industrial when they have toxic air pollution and toxic water waste that has the potential to kill or permanently injure people, animals, and our environment. They need to be relocated to a heavy industrial area where it's not next to two schools, with 2500 students, neighborhoods and businesses. My children will likely be zoned to attend the new schools once it is built and I won’t be able to relax knowing how close they are to a potential hazardous chemical if there were to be an accident. It’s just not right for our community!

Do not build the Silfab plant in South Carolina

This is absolutely unacceptable and cannot happen. I will be watching the actions of the officials responsible for zoning decisions and make it my priority to see that they uphold the wishes of the community. VOTE NO

Please do not let this company pollute our air. Protect our children by saying no

This would be very harmful to the surrounding schools in the area!

The environmental and personal risks to our community are far too great to allow this to move forward!

I’m voting no

NO

Please No!!!

No!

Dear Members of the Board of Zoning Appeals, 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 request. I ask that you vote "
