Community-Wide Meeting with Public Officials

*We will meet outside the entrance to rally with posters/signs starting at 5:15 p.m.*

What is the “Magnolia Megasite?”

The county purchased 1,800+ acres in Moseley and would like to rezone it Industrial-2 with permitted uses that include the following:
Plastics Manufacturing: Major emissions from plastic production processes include sulfuroxides, nitrous oxides, methanol, ethylene oxide,  and volatile organic compounds.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Toxic by-products can leach into the groundwater negatively affecting wildlife and human health

Semiconductors: require 20 million gallons of water a month that has to be disposed of as waste because the manufacturing process requires the use of large amounts of hazardous chemicals

Data Centers: very noisy and can be heard for miles due to the HVAC equipment (air conditioners) from the fans, condensers, compressors and evaporators

Why are residents opposed to the rezoning?
• PROPERTY VALUES: An industrial mega-site would have a negative impact on property
values in and around Moseley.
• PROXIMITY TO HOMES & SCHOOLS: The site is close to residential and future school
sites.
• CONTAMINATION TO DRINKING WATER: The site is located on Resource-ProtectedAreas, wetlands, and a FEMA flood plain that feeds directly into the Swift Creek Watershed,
our drinking water.
• TRAFFIC: Without proper infrastructure in place, our roads will be even more overwhelmed
and inundated with large trucks.
• TAXPAYER’S MONEY: This project would cost tax-payers a fortune to get a site “shovel
ready” with no one lined up to develop it. Existing Virginia industrial sites have a poor track
record.
• QUALITY OF LIFE: This rezoning is inconsistent with the character of Moseley and
incompatible with the county’s comprehensive plan
