ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Some people in the Lincolnville Community in downtown St. Augustine are fighting to stop the city from reopening a dump near their neighborhood.
The community is upset over plans to move the waste from the dump back to the Riberia Street site. Residents are concerned over the health and environmental effects.
Right now, the site is over on Holmes Boulevard.
Residents can voice their concerns Thursday night [January 10th] at 6 p.m. at the St. Paul AME Church on Martin Luther King Avenue.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
