| Harris County Attorney Abbie Kamin announced that she is filing a lawsuit to close the Hawthorne Park landfill in the Carverdale neighborhood. The Carverdale community is a treasured part of our city, and its residents deserve to live in a neighborhood with clean air, safe surroundings, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their health and quality of life are protected. I am grateful to Harris County Attorney Kamin for thoroughly reviewing this matter and taking action. I remain committed to standing with the Carverdale community as we work towards a cleaner, healthier, and safer future in Carverdale. |
