Councilman Redd agreed and asked the council to vote no because the change in zoning would allow the manufacturing, storage, and shipping of hazardous materials in the area. He stated, it would be “incompatible, inappropriate and immoral to pass this zoning change … with a residential neighborhood 1,000 feet away (Smith, 2011, p. A1). Residents told the council that “industrial recruitment shouldn’t come at the detriment of the citizens” (Eason, 2011c, p. A1). Councilman Nick Steward stated that while he understood the resident’s objections, it was also important to consider the impact of bringing new jobs into the area. Councilman Burkhart told the council that his neighborhood had been negatively impacted by the building of a new hospital, but he knew that was the consequence that had to be paid to improve medical care. “We all, as a community, have to pitch in when it comes to infrastructure,” he said (Eason, 2011c, p. A1). Tim Chandler, a resident of the affected neighborhood, supported the rezoning request, saying, “We’re supposed to worry about how we’re going to conserve fuel … this is a prime example of a good way to do it” (Smith, 2011, p. A1). At the end of the discussion period, the city council voted 9-3 to approve the rezoning request. The Montgomery County Commission subsequently approved the rezoning request, and work on the port expansion began (Clarksville Now, 2011).
