The residents are disappointed with the City of Snellville, because when Commercial Zoning was approved for the area, it was approved with conditions. So residents thought that the space would only be used for business offices like a law firm or an insurance office. They didn't really expect a business that burns human or animal remains to be built there, so imagine their dismay.
The crematorium has not yet obtained their license, and the residents plan to fight it. One of their major concerns is air quality, and that there is a school bus stop nearby.

I'm not sure about what the health concerns are regarding crematories. I think modern crematories are probably blanketed with laws and regulations that make the process pretty safe, but still - I don't know if I would personally want to LIVE next to one...what do you think about it?
Would you want to live next to a cremation facility?
