Once again Quincy faces another dilemma. While Pike counties ethanol plant to double capacity, A few "Quincy Residents" are crying Not In My Back Yard to the new proposed ethanol plant on the "outskirts" of Quincy. You can already hear the cries of heavy truck traffic, smells, sounds, pollution risks, traffic routes, water supplies drying up and so forth. The funniest quote was from the QHW Friday saying " an ethanol plant does not belong in a "residential" area". I don't know about you but be the judge for yourself. Here is an Aerial Photo of the location and I don't see to many damned houses. It is also stated that "At least 150 neighbors of the proposed site met Thursday night" ??? How far away from the site did you invite people ?? 10 miles ?? These so called "neighbors" are going to take their case to the Quincy City Council of which I think they have NO business of voicing anything but support for a new and upcoming industry in a close proximity to the city.
But, just like the floating Casino Quincy passed off to LaGrange, I feel enough residents and "neighbors" will cry foul and once again Quincy will be left out in the cold.
