Local officials say the Final Environmental Impact Report for the project is fatally flawed and should not be certified.

It is election season in many Massachusetts cities and towns. The smart candidates have started early because COVID-19 is making retail politics more difficult.

The legal and political battle between New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell and Parallel Products is about to take another twist and become more complicated.

Step aside COVID-19, New Bedford has a more political health issue to decide. The expansion of Parallel Products in the North End of the city is coming up.

The proposed New Bedford recycling facility would process trash, construction waste, sewage solids, and glass and plastic.

Mayor Jon Mitchell said the project "would pose risks to the health of nearby residents" and undermine the quality of life.

Craig Dixon, the embattled chairman of the New Bedford Conservation Commission, is resigning and he is leaving town for greener pastures.

Tyson Moultrie is standing by his claim he received encouragement to run from two former mayors while lobbing accusations of corruption at the current one.

The donations to Mayor Mitchell from the vice president of Parallel Products pre-date the company's proposal for the Business Park.

A local citizens group has organized an event to raise awareness and voice opposition to the bio-waste and solid-waste facility proposed by Parallel Products.
