KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Kalamazoo City Commissioners has received a quarterly update regarding the ongoing odor mitigation strategy for Graphics Packaging International (GPI), as well as the city wastewater treatment facility.
Residents have previously said that the foul odors have been a nuisance and health risk for years. Complaints have also been made regarding odors from the city wastewater treatment plant, which sits along the Kalamazoo River.
Should the company not show any significant progress, or is found to not be operating in compliance with the agreement, the City of Kalamazoo could rescind the tax break if it chooses.
