Glenn Kowalske, spokesperson for the organization opposing construction of the BlueOval Battery Park Michigan plant in Marshall, returns to Community Matters.
This is Kowalske's first conversation with Community Matters after a judge ruled against the Committee for Marshall-Not the Megasite's lawsuit targeting the zoning process for the plant. At the time of the interview, the court had not rendered any outcome over an amended complaint the committee has filed.
The committee continues to hope for a referendum on the plant from Marshall voters.
