Aldine residents fired up over cement plant moving into neighborhood

ALDINE, Texas -- A passionate and sometimes tense meeting in east Aldine had Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia offering to buy a piece of vacant property for $600,000, and Texas State Representative Armando Walle exchanged words with a heckler.

One-by-one, dozens of residents stood up to the microphone sharing three-minute stories and passionate pleas, begging Meliton Gomez and his son, Ivan, both of Avant Garde Construction Company to withdraw their application from the TCEQ. His family, from La Porte, later decided it would make a good place for a concrete batch plant with easy access to Highway 59, avoiding any neighborhood streets.
