The company that operated a Georgia chlorine plant with a history of explosions, chemical fires, and toxic clouds that have drifted over neighborhoods outside Atlanta has decided not to rebuild the main manufacturing facility in Conyers.
BioLab Inc. said it has been unable to resume manufacturing operations in Conyers after the most recent catastrophe on Sept. 29. Though manufacturing won’t restart, the company’s Conyers distribution center will remain operational and fill customer orders for products from other manufacturing facilities.
The September fire sent a huge plume of orange and black smoke into the Georgia sky, forcing nearby residents to shelter in place, leading to classes being canceled for school children and the closure of a major interstate.
