As we all know, November 12th was marked by a factory explosion that took the lives of two people and injured at least 11 others. Not only was this a tragic and likely preventable event for the workers of the factory, it rocked the foundations of the Clifton neighborhood the factory was situated in. People have had their homes damaged, pets misplaced, and their peace of mind shattered.

However, removing the factory entirely would cause an unreasonable loss of jobs. Therefore we, the undersigned citizens of Louisville KY, hereby petition Metro Council and the Office of Planning and Design Services to remove this company's factory from proximity with any residential areas within Louisville Metro.
