Explosion Raises Concerns About Safety Of Proposed Fertilizer Plant


After an explosion at a West Texas fertilizer plant killed at least 14 people and injured more than 200, some are wondering whether the fertilizer production plant Atlantic Potash are talking about building in the McAllister Industrial Park would be safe. 

Common councillor Ray Strowbridge tells CHSJ News it's not only too soon to start worrying that, but that even in the eventuality there was an accident we have a strong enough emergency response team to deal with that.

In addition, Strowbridge says Atlantic Potash will have to fulfill the province's safety requirements, and council will do its due diligence as the project comes closer to being a reality.
