Rockdale County residents sign second petition demanding Biolab’s business license be revoked
In a continued response to environmental safety concerns, Rockdale County residents have signed a second petition to revoke the business license of a Biolab after a fire incident at its Conyers facility. The fire, which took place on September 29, released hazardous chemicals into the atmosphere, prompting heightened anxiety among community members. This petition is part of a broader movement advocating for stricter regulations and oversight of local businesses that manage dangerous materials. The county has initiated legal proceedings against the Biolab, although there is currently no set court date for the case. This delay has left many residents feeling uncertain and frustrated about the potential risks to their health and safety.
Community leaders are emphasizing the need for transparency and preventative measures to avoid similar incidents in the future. The activism surrounding this issue illustrates the residents' commitment to protecting their environment and advocating for responsible business practices. As the situation develops, the outcome may set important precedents for local governance and environmental policy.
