I am writing to implore you to prevent the BioMass plant from coming to Springfield. The proposed site of the plant is near my house and I definitely do not want it there or anywhere in the city. We have a high rate of asthma here and the pollution that would come from it would only make things worse. We fought this fight about 9 years ago and I am saddened that we are in the same place again. If it must be built then let it be somewhere where the population is not so dense or let it be in Longmeadow or Agawam. I don’t want it built anywhere but I ask myself why does it have to be in my city? Please don't let this happen in our city. We cannot afford the costs associated with it. Thank you.
