Adrian, MI – City of Adrian residents protested operations at an egg processing facility on the east side of town. About 20 people gathered at Monument Park and walked to Crimson Holdings at around 7pm Thursday night.
Some residents have complained of odors being emitted from the plant, and the City of Adrian legal council has actually brought the company to court over the smells.
Representatives from the public relations firm for Crimson Holdings met with protesters to talk about the odor remediation measures the company has been taking at the business where the Dairy Farmers of America plant was located.
As it stands now, a court order has limited production times at the facility to be between 7pm and 7am. The City of Adrian and Crimson Holdings have been in talks outside of court, but there is a date scheduled for July.
Emily Bir, for Crimson Holdings, emailed WLEN News this statement Friday morning:
“Crimson Holdings is committed to being a good neighbor in Adrian and having a positive impact in the community. We are working every day to mitigate odors from the facility. Additionally, we are working with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and city of Adrian on installing a scrubber. We respect the community’s right to voice their concerns and hope for these conversations to turn into a productive dialogue, like we’ve had with so many residents. We encourage residents to visit CrimsonCares.com, where we will also be sharing progress on our odor mitigation efforts.”
