Fort Bend Community Rallies Against Proposed Concrete Plant Over Environmental Health Concerns

Residents of Fort Bend’s suburbs, areas long sought after for their clean air and quiet sanctuary, are contesting the arrival of a concrete crushing plant, proposed by developer John Beeson’s Julpit Inc., which threatens to mar their environment with industrial pollutants. According to a Houston Chronicle report, members of the community expressed their concerns at a town hall meeting in Rosharon, citing fears over the impact of air pollution on health — especially on children and veterans who settled in the area for its promise of clean living.
