Raytheon launches website to address plume concerns
ST. PETERSBURG - Raytheon Co. launched a website to address the concerns of nearby residents regarding the toxic plume migrating off its west St. Petersburg facility.
In a news release sent Wednesday afternoon, the company said the site provides timely information on the assessment report due this weekend to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Information on water use, community outreach and facility history are also explored on the site. The site can be found at http://www.raytheonstpetersburg.com
The launch of the site comes in advance of the community meeting Raytheon is hosting at its facility this Friday at 7 p.m. to discuss the key findings of the report. Located at 1501 72nd St. North, Raytheon also plans a "open house" at 6 p.m. where residents can speak to Raytheon and DEP officials one on one.
