This is happening after an Environmental or Health Impact Assessment was deemed unnecessary for the project.
TACOMA, Wash. — On Tuesday, Tacoma community members held a rally outside of city hall over concerns about ato be built in south Tacoma. This comes after late last week, the hearing examiner upheld a decision that does not require the builders to submit an Environmental or Health Impact Assessment for the neighborhood.
The City of Tacoma gave Bridge Point Tacoma LLC, part of Bridge Industrial, permission for the proposed project to cover nearly 160 acres of land. This includes four warehouses, more than 1,200 parking spots and about two-and-a-half million square feet of building space. The advocates voiced concerns about the project's environmental impacts, including increased pollution, potential flooding and hotter neighborhood temperatures.
The law firm representing the community members is still deciding whether to appeal the decision made by the hearing examiner.
