Community Health

The CAC is focused on the ongoing personal and community health of residents within the council’s proximity. While health does overlap both safety and environmental responsibilities, constantly changing regulation, laws, and scientific studies have elevated this theme within the council.

Since the Pine Bend Refinery is recognized as a very clean and environmentally conscious facility, the council wants to ensure both themselves and residents don’t become inattentive to potential future concerns that could arise. A continuous focus on health is a critical pillar to the council’s efforts, and will guide much of the conversation with the refinery.
