Will Texas commission grant permit for concrete batch plant in Mansfield? Not yet

May 19 More than an hour of deliberations over the future of a concrete batch plant near Mansfield did not bring the closure Tarrant County residents had hoped for on Wednesday.
Instead, three governor-appointed commissioners voted to delay the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality s decision to grant or reject Bosque Solutions air quality permit application for another three weeks.
The application, which seeks to build a plant emitting 13.57 tons of particulate matter in a rural neighborhood just outside of Mansfield city limits, has been at the center of a three-year legal battle with far-reaching consequences for communities across Texas challenging the arrival of industrial facilities near their homes.
