West Dallas should listen to GAF about plan to leave Dallas | Opinion
The GAF shingle manufacturing plant in Dallas Before the month is out, officials with shingle production company GAF will invite West Dallas residents to a series of community meetings about plans to shut down their factory in the area, have it rezoned for a non-industrial use and clean up the land where industry has functioned for generations.
The reality is more complex. There is no question that it is time for GAF to wrap up its operations in West Dallas. Company officials acknowledge that. Our worry is that if residents and elected officials don’t hear out what GAF is offering, the deal that West Dallas gets could be much worse. GAF officials, meanwhile, have limited operations at the plant and presented a professional analysis about air quality in the area that contradicts less detailed data from Singleton United. We aren’t going to try to sort whose data are accurate, but residents and city officials should at least review the GAF air quality data analysis along with information from Singleton United.
