Bainbridge Community organizes the third City Council for opponents of the Earrings Agreement

• The South Georgia application of intervening in the case of citizens against the safer human medicine accepted.
• Community members who oppose the pending primates project celebrated a third community town hall.
• Look at the story to listen to what happened and how the primates company responds.

Despite a ruling from the state court, people in the Bainbridge community are still pressing against a pending primates project.
The Joe L. Sweet center in Potter Street was a full house on Thursday, during what the primates opponents called the Monkey Gate Expo.

“We were at full capacity and overflow. Citizens are worried. They were opening. They were appearing,” said Stand Up Bainbridge, a meorgia member, June Faircloth.

The opponents of the Primates Safer Human Medicine say that they are not going back when it comes to joining the community to inform others about their progress in the fight against SHM.

Recently, opponents reached a one -year brand in their fight to prevent ShM from building an installation that will raise primates to be sent to other facilities. Those will be used for medical tests.

Throughout the last year, the neighbors in the area have held informative meetings, questioned local leaders and protested the pending project.

“The longer that safer human medicine does not put a brick on the ground (Y) does not put a monkey in Bainbridge,” according to Dr. Lisa Jones-Engle, scientific advisor to the research of Primates for Peta, “more likely go To recognize that this is not the place that we are going to be. “

Many people in the area have the impression that SHM will be built after the Georgia Court of Appeals ruled in favor of SHM. That decision solidified the validation of an income bonus in one of the city’s industrial parks.

A company spokesman issued a statement;

“The safer human medicine is pleased to collaborate with the Development Authority to advance this project. During the next ten years, our installation will create 400 new jobs and generate $ 743 million impressive for the community.”

Dr. Jones-Geph said: “This is not a treatment made. This will be tired in court for years.”

County leaders once again expressed regret for their initial support for the project. They assured the neighbors that they are doing everything possible to terminate their support.

During the meeting, the speakers announced that the application of the District Prosecutor of the South Georgia Circuit of intervening in the case of citizens had been accepted.

In this case, local citizens have led the leaders of the city and the county to the courts for allegedly violating the Georgia open meetings law.

“It makes us feel good when we see many of the other public servants who took us in this disaster, to see them get us a lot from getting out of it,” Faircloth said.

A SHM spokesman issued a statement in response to this third community meeting of the City Council: “Support for this project is growing, with many Decatur County residents already expressing great interest in work opportunities.”

WTXL will continue to update this community as things advance in the ongoing judicial cases.
