As residents of Plaquemines Parish, we are feeling the strain of industrial development. Our housing costs are skyrocketing and our time wasted in traffic is increasing. Even ambulances, crucial to our safety and health, are being delayed by these traffic jams. The infrastructure simply cannot handle further development.

Our quality of life has seen massive declines due to current industrial projects. We've witnessed crippling traffic congestion and unaffordable housing that's hurting families like ours every day. Now, a new threat looms on the horizon - a proposed container terminal.

This new industrial development will only compound our existing problems with traffic and housing affordability, creating an even greater reduction in our quality of life and create a safety hazard for all residents by slowing ambulance and fire fighter response times. Further, the water consumed for construction will make our delicate water system more prone to failure. Salt water intrusion into the water system is even more likely with this added development. It's clear that this container terminal will push our community past its breaking point.

We must stand together as a community against this proposed container terminal in Plaquemines Parish. We urge local authorities to consider the detrimental effects it will have on our lives and environment before giving it the green light.

Join us in demanding that this container terminal not be built in Plaquemines Parish for the sake of preserving our quality of life and ensuring a safe future for all residents here. Please sign this petition today!
