American Iron and Metal are waiting on a permit to operate from the Environment department and to finalize a lease agreement with the Port before construction can begin on their metal shredder.
The proposed 30 million dollar facility is due to be built on the west side at Pier 10.
Camilla Wierpszo of American Iron and Metal tells CHSJ News construction was supposed to start last month. She says their plans are the same and they plan to start construction soon.
The facility will recycle old metal from cars and will create 23 jobs. Residents that live nearby expressed concerns in the fall about noise from the facility but President Herb Black said he was comfortable with the noise levels and expects they will be too.
