says it will try to close it by 2029.This week marks the first time New Jersey-based roofing manufacturer GAF has expressed any intention to leave the Singleton Road site it’s been operating for around 80 years, including amid recent backlash from the community over noise and air pollution concerns.
Singleton United/Unidos in a statement said the city could consider forcing the plant to leave via amortization, a process that could include the city council or a resident formally requesting that Dallas’ Board of Adjustment review the site to determine if there are enough negative impacts caused by the site to justify shutting it down.
The West Dallas plant has 150 workers, he said. “Our plan allows for these individuals and families to be supported through this transition, while also allowing for the development of the West Dallas neighborhood to meet the future needs of the city and community,” Perri said., about 55 miles southeast of Dallas, in 2023. It is also planning an expansion of an existing facility in Ennis to be completed by next year.
