Too many massive warehouses: That was the message residents in one local county wanted lawmakers to hear on Monday.
They’re concerned the structures are threatening the natural beauty of the area, and they want the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to put a stop to a proposal to build another one.
Poconos residents on Monday taking a stand against another huge warehouse proposal. “Not in my backyard,” they say.
They’re also claiming that another warehouse would potentially threaten a local waterway.
“I think this needs to stop. The Poconos is not the land of warehouses, so I’m asking you to deny it,” Tunkhannock Township Jennifer Lannaco said.
Concerned Monroe County residents want the DEP to give the thumbs down to a warehouse to be built on Route 115.
