The Dallas City Council recently approved one cement batch plant near a school. Now it appears the flood gates are open, and now more batch plants want to move into urban neighborhoods.

David Griggs of the Dallas Sierra Club and Susybelle Gosslee are taking the lead on helping defeat a batch plant in West Dallas, a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood, which has already taken a toll from a lead smelter years ago.

Now a batch plant is scheduled for a vote at City Hall. If you got to the ExxonMobil event, you could grab lunch and go to this meeting. It is expected that it comes up after 1 pm due to its number on the docket. There are efforts to try and get it pulled. Councilwoman Monica Alonzo is key to this vote.
