PALM BAY, Fla. – “We have a great safety record. Our people are very well-trained. But accidents happen. And we want to make sure that people know if they’re living right beside a chemical plant, this stuff can kill you.”That’s what Joe Beatty, vice president/general manager of FAR Chemical, told the Palm Bay City Council last October — nearly a year before a series of violent explosions would rock his facility, News 6 partner Florida Today reported.Beatty was lobbying the City Council to reject a North Miami Beach developer’s pitch to rezone 22 acres bordering FAR Chemical’s industrial plant for construction of up to 699 residential units and 190,000 square feet of commercial space.
