Why is this useful?
This is an example of how a grassroots, EJ, local organization has addressed local EJ concerns by publicly providing formalized feedback to the County Government's Director of Planning on a local Community (Armourdale) General Plan, as it was being developed.
As a result, multiple specific items as well as a greater understanding of the importance of environmental health for the residents, were taken into account by the local government/city planners from CleanAirNow's recommendations.
