Re: 019-0984

To this point, my experience as an Elmiran is that Bio-En has been a responsible community member. Air complaints about a potentially smelly facility have been minimal.

My concern with the current proposal is with the addition of significantly more big trucks pounding through downtown Elmira. The last decade has seen a huge increase in the size and number of big trucks, making the main street of our town a very unpleasant place to stroll, shop, visit. I can't imagine it getting worse, but the proposed addition of trucks in and out of Bio-en would certainly do that.

If Bio-en wants to expand, it should relocate outside of a town---or we should have a truck bypass of Elmira in place.
