NEW ORLEANS The New Orleans City Council is expected to vote on a resolution opposing the construction of the Formosa Petrochemical Plant in St. James parish.
The resolution, sponsored by Councilmembers Kristen Palmer and Cyndi Nguyen, says the petrochemical facility poses a threat to the health of our waterways such as the Mississippi River and Lake Des Allemands.
Palmer said that she and Ngyuen see the effects of the 2020 Bianca Spill, when a cargo ship let loose millions of plastic pellets called nurdles, every day along the Mississippi river.
