Dozens of Maize residents are angry over a chemical plant's desire to move to their town.

Many people opposed to the idea of Barton Solvents setting up in their backyard, spoke out against the proposal. The company's Valley Center Plant exploded last summer, causing ground water contamination.

Barton Solvents said its studying to move the plant to a location near 119th street, and idea that's not faring well in the minds of some residents.

"I think their safety is compromised, property taxes will go down, and I'm banking on making some money off of my little ghetto house," said Heather Hayden, Maize Resident.

The city of Maize advised residents not to worry, the city said they're still in the information gathering stage. The city said the best time for residents to voice their opinion is during the town hall meeting set for May 5th.
