Odessa Nursing Home Push Paused Amid Huntsman Spat
A Odessa nursing home project is on the back burner while the Odessa-Huntsman Litigation Group, formed in 1999, seeks up to 15 million dollars from Huntsman to settle disputes over emissions and alleged health effects on southside residents. No lawsuit has been filed, and a meeting with Huntsman was canceled. Officials say a settlement would affect community funding, but the nursing home would not be part of any deal until the plant is audited and deemed safe by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission. The project would be south side based and could take about a year after a settlement, with Huntsman potentially guaranteeing lending. Company ties include NAACP collaboration and payments to local legal staff.
