Join Virginia Interfaith Power & Light and the Concerned Citizens of Charles City County (C5) for a discussion about environmental injustices in rural Virginia. C5 was formed in June 2019. C5 works to inform and educate county residents of issues facing the county. This group has been formed in response to the multiple power plants proposed for the county--with limited involvement from residents. Two new gas plants have been proposed for the Roxbury Road corridor in Charles City County, more might be in consideration. These plants will use fracked gas from the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Moreover, there is a proposal to expand the landfill that sits within the community.
