Last Spring, we sent out a survey to South Plant neighbors. We asked about their experience of living/working near the plant. One hundred people responded! We are so appreciative of your feedback, thank you.
Now we’ve compiled your feedback into a newsletter and provided additional information about South Plant and our projects there. Your feedback will help inform important work taking place at South Plant to protect public health and the environment for a thriving Puget Sound region.
