- Petrochemicals: Stopping dangerous petrochemical projects is one of the Councils impact areas in its 2024-2030 Strategic Plan. This year, the Council worked to prevent proposals for harmful petrochemical facilities from advancing. This work was best exemplified when earlier in 2024 the Council organized impacted communities to successfully prevent the building of Encinas toxic plastics recycling facility in Northumberland County. The Council continued the past year to monitor and organize around similar proposed facilities.
