Dendermonde (Eurotoday): Empro, located in Dendermonde’s Hooveld industrial estate, is renovating to address odor complaints. Spokesperson Leen De Jonghe anticipates permit approval for the spring 2025 construction of a new purification building.
Empro, a company in the Hooveld industrial estate in Dendermonde, has faced complaints from residents for years due to unpleasant odors. These smells have caused discomfort for the community, leading to frustration among many people. The ongoing issue has raised concerns about the company’s impact on the neighborhood, resulting in a long-standing sense of dissatisfaction among those living nearby.
How is Empro addressing community concerns with upcoming renovations and permit changes?
In response to the complaints, Empro has applied to change its operating permit to renovate its buildings. Leen De Jonghe, a spokesperson for the company, said these updates aim to improve the company’s operations and the quality of life for nearby residents. De Jonghe is confident that the provincial authorities will approve the permit, highlighting that the planned changes are intended to address community concerns. Empro hopes these renovations will help reduce the bad smells and strengthen its relationship with the local community.
Empro intends to begin construction in spring 2025, pending approval of a new permit, with the goal of completing a new water purification building by fall. The current building needs urgent repairs, so they will build a new one on top to reduce bad smells during the process. They will also move the meat delivery area to face the industrial zone, which will lower noise for nearby residents. A new double gate will be added to help minimize odors during strong winds.
