A sulfuric stink has filled the Joppa community for years, and residents say the smell, particulate matter pollution and grit have caused headaches, asthma.
Joppa residents will have to wait again to voice concerns about a controversial asphalt plant. A public hearing was scheduled and then postponed the same day.
The Austin Asphalt batch plant in Joppa will not be granted an automatic permit renewal from the city. Dallas city officials say the facility is out of compliance.
A “Joppa community meeting” was billed as a chance to get information about the status of a controversial asphalt plant that residents say has long polluted the air in the predominately Black community.
