GREEN CHARTER TOWNSHIP — Reaction is pouring in from the Big Rapids area, including county commissioners, people who opposed the project, and Gotion.

Lori Brock is one of the people who has been vocal in their opposition to the Gotion project from the start.

“Thrilled. Absolutely thrilled. Literally started crying today. This has been a fight for two and a half years,” said Brock.

Brock said her horse farm is right across from the proposed Gotion plant.

She said a lot of people had concerns about the environmental impact and Gotion’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

“It wasn’t just me or one or two or three people. It was a huge community of people that came together. Everyone adamantly did not want Gotion. You’ve got no community support, no county support,” said Brock.
