Stop the Construction of a Composting Facility in Windhaven Community

The Issue

As residents of Tega Cay, SC, USA, we are deeply concerned about the proposed construction of a composting facility in place of our recreational park near the Windhaven community. Many of us have children and the location is alarmingly close to our residential area. We fear that this facility could pose potential health risks and disrupt our peaceful community life.

The decision to build this facility was made without a public hearing or consultation with local residents. This is not only undemocratic but also dismissive of our rights as citizens to participate in decisions that directly affect us.

Composting facilities can emit unpleasant odors and attract pests, which could significantly decrease quality of life for nearby residents. Moreover, studies show that property values can decrease by up to 6% when located near waste facilities (Source: Journal of Real Estate Research).

We urge you not only to reconsider this decision but also involve us in future discussions about developments within our community. Our voices matter and should be heard before any further steps are taken.

Please sign this petition if you believe in preserving the tranquility and safety of Windhaven community park for future generations.
