TIMES RECORD • August 26, 2024
After an Aug. 19 chemical spill at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station, residents and customers in the redeveloped neighborhood, which is home to over 100 businesses and organizations, quickly turned to social media, calling local representatives and reaching out to the businesses they frequent to fill the information void. While some Brunswick Landing businesses experienced minimal impact from last week’s frenzy surrounding the spill others became unwilling communications officers in an environmental emergency. For nearly three days, it fell on Brunswick Landing businesses to disseminate vital information. “There was a deafening silence of information.” The public can now access online much-needed safety information at brunswicklanding.us/afff-hangar-4-faq/.
