Tour of Seneca Babcock May 13th

 Since Battaglia Demolition began operations a little over 10 years ago residents of Peabody St. and the surrounding neighborhood have complained to the State and City of Buffalo regarding dust and soot coming from the facility; loud noise beginning early in the morning from the bulldozers and the concrete crusher; and massive truck traffic that is routed down small residential streets.

“I can’t open my windows because of all the dust from the rock crushing. It is hard for my kids to play outside because there are so many trucks up and down the street. My kids are always getting bloody noses all day lon g.” Complaint from Peabody Resident to the DEC in 2013

Clean Air has joined resident’s decade long fight earlier this year, working closely with home owners in the densely populated community next to Battaglia’s location in Seneca Babcock.

On May 13th residents will lead a walking tour of their neighborhood and explain how the legacy of industry has impacted their lives. Residents will describe their ten-year fight against concrete crushing, wins and losses and how you can get involved.
