Residents Voice Concerns Over Peoria’s Semiconductor Facility Development
Peoria, AZ – Residents of the nearby Vistancia community are expressing significant concerns regarding the city’s recent unanimous approval of a development agreement with Amkor Technology for a new semiconductor facility. The planned 56-acre site, located near Loop 303 and Lone Mountain Parkway, is set to break ground this September.
Local residents have raised alarms about potential issues, including increased traffic congestion and fears of chemical contamination associated with the plant’s operations. Joel Resnick, a concerned resident, emphasized that while they are not against the project itself, they advocate for a more suitable location. "We only want what’s just for the communities," he stated, urging the city council to reconsider the location of the facility. "We won’t get a second chance to get it right."
Another local resident, Mike Edmiston, expressed support for Amkor Technology but echoed similar sentiments regarding the location. He proposed relocating the plant several miles away into areas not slated for residential development.
Despite their worries, residents plan to continue voicing their concerns at city council meetings, advocating for a broader community dialogue on the impacts of the facility. The impending development symbolizes a significant economic venture for Peoria, yet it poses complex challenges to local residents, who remain apprehensive about the potential ramifications of having such an industrial facility nearby.
As discussions continue, the city council and Amkor Technology will need to address these community concerns to ensure a balance between economic growth and the well-being of local residents.
