Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - Goodyear's Niagara Falls chemical plant will close at the end of the month. Residents had long complained about the facility due to concerns over cancer causing pollution produced by the plant. Goodyear had previously been fined by the DEC because of the plant's dangerous emissions. The company has yet to file a WARN notice with the state which would reveal how many employees are affected.
