Dozens of Pasadena residents implored the Anne Arundel County Council in testimony Monday night not to approve a zoning change that would keep a nearby wood recycling plant open.
"We don't want our quality of life ruined," said Helen Warfield, a civic activist who lives near the plant.
Backers of the A-A Recycling & Sand plant said the council had improperly targeted the business when it approved a zoning change in 1999 that would have forced owner William H. DeBaugh to relocate within three years. He never did.
