尽管目前正在进行清理和规划,但Benicia仍因公众对重新开发前Valero炼油厂场址的投入有限而面临强烈的反响。 Benicia faces backlash for limited public input on redevelopment of the former Valero refinery site, despite ongoing cleanup and planning.

Benicia在处理前Valero炼油厂场址的重新开发时面临越来越多的批评,居民和倡导者对公众参与不足和自上而下表示关切。 Benicia faces growing criticism over its handling of the former Valero refinery site redevelopment, with residents and advocates expressing concern that public engagement is insufficient and top-down. 自4月份Valero雇用签名发展小组评估900英亩土地的备选方案以来,尽管该项目产生了长期影响,但该市仍然分享了有关污染或规划的极少细节。 Since April, when Signature Development Group was hired by Valero to assess options for the 900-acre site, the city has shared minimal details about contamination or planning, despite the project’s long-term impact. 虽然新网站邀请公众回馈, 但批评者却称其为肤浅的姿态。 While a new website invites public feedback, critics call it a superficial gesture. 倡导者,包括规划员伊丽莎白·帕特森,正在敦促该市设立一个社区利益有关者工作队,以1995年监督委员会为基础,以确保根据总计划和CEQA的要求作出透明、包容的决策。 Advocates, including planner Elizabeth Patterson, are urging the city to create a community stakeholder task force—modeled after a 1995 oversight committee—to ensure transparent, inclusive decision-making aligned with the General Plan and CEQA requirements. 随着重新发展计划的推进和清理工作正在进行中,许多居民强调需要积极主动、公平的公众参与。 With redevelopment plans advancing and cleanup efforts underway, many residents stress the need for proactive, equitable public involvement.
