Exxon/SABIC Community Forum

Two experts will hold a community forum addressing the anticipated environmental impacts and health risks that our community will face if the proposed Exxon/SABIC petrochemical complex is built less than 1.5 miles from three GPISD schools. The forum will be held February 20th from 6:00-8:00 PM in the Portland Community Center Ballroom, 2000 Billy G. Webb Drive in Portland, Texas. Hosted by Portland Citizens United, a grassroots group opposing the proposed location of the plant, the forum’s speakers will include Ilan Levin and Neil Carman, PhD. Ilan Levin is a former EPA attorney who currently serves as the Associate Director of the Environmental Integrity Project. Neil Carman is a former TCEQ industrial plant investigator and currently serves as Clean Air Director of the Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club.
