Progress Report: Victory for Nashua – Community Defeats Asphalt Plant  

Newport Construction Company dropped its lawsuit challenging Nashua’s rejection of a proposal to build a polluting asphalt plant. Amid pushback from residents, government actors, and interested organizations, including CLF, the Nashua Planning Board pointed out that the plan was inconsistent with the community’s character. The company’s withdrawal means the city’s decision stands: Nashua has defeated the asphalt plant for good.

Photo: A group of diverse people is gathered outdoors, holding signs in protest against an asphalt plant. The signs display messages such as "No Asphalt Plant," "Climate Justice Now!" "Asphalt Kills," "People Over Profits," and "Clean Water, Clean Air." The protesters are standing together in solidarity, with trees providing a natural backdrop. The mood is determined and peaceful as the group advocates for environmental justice and public health. Proposed plant would be located in Nashua.
