We are residents deeply affected by the operations of Inwood Material Terminal, LLC. This facility, situated in our community in Far Rockaway, Queens, NY, has been a source of pollution, noise and waste that negatively impacts us and nearby businesses. The expansion plans of this company pose an even greater threat to our health, environment and quality of life.

Inwood Material Terminal's facility is located near the Redfern Houses, which is in a "disadvantaged community" as defined by the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. The residents have noted significant health impacts due to the presence of this facility. It is not just about noise or congestion; it's about our health and well-being.

The detrimental effects are not just anecdotal but supported by research as well. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to such environmental pollutants can lead to various health issues including respiratory problems (source: Environmental Protection Agency).

We care deeply about our health and environment here in Far Rockaway, especially for those residing at Redfern Houses, who bear the brunt of these negative impacts daily. It is time for action.

We urge you to join us in calling upon local authorities to halt any expansion plans from Inwood Material Terminal LLC. until the proper environmental impact assessments are conducted and adequate measures are put into place to mitigate their harmful effects on our community.
