In 1997, the Concerned Citizens of Millis received a grant to support efforts to secure clean-up of pollution caused by an asphalt shingle plant in MIllis, and to campaign against any plant expansion unless guarantees are given that no further environmental or public health damage will be caused by the plant.
Citizens of Millis
Our Purpose
The Citizens of Millis organized in November 1995 to assert the rights of Millis residents to a safe and healthy neighborhood. They researched and raised awareness about the public health affects of an asphalt plant in MIllis, supported the cleanup of the associated waste site, and raised awareness about the impacts of potential expansion of the plant.
