Long Beach Chamber Opposes State Pollution Control Plan
Long Beach Chamber of Commerce directors voted to oppose a new statewide air pollution control plan. They warned it could devastate the local economy by costing thousands of jobs and millions of dollars, and that it would stifle construction and port development including the Hahn regional shopping center and Sohio tank farm. The plan, adopted by CARB on Oct. 27, aims to control all air basins and drive industry to improve technology, but critics say it delays industrial development.
