Manufacturing company Saint-Gobain is closing its plant in Merrimack. That facility has been at the center of a long-running controversy over PFAS contamination in the area.

The tone Wednesday night was celebratory after the company announced it would close the Merrimack facility. But those gathered called for Saint-Gobain to take more responsibility for PFAS contamination in the area

The company has been under fire for years for their use of PFAS chemicals, which have contaminated water in the area around their facility in Merrimack. But the exact timing of the closure remains unclear.

The approval comes after local pushback against the manufacturing company’s initial application that was available for public comment earlier this summer.

Twenty-two attorneys general urged a federal court Wednesday to reject a proposed $10.3 billion settlement over contamination of U.S. public drinking water systems with potentially dangerous chemicals, saying it lets manufacturer 3M Co. off too easily.
