#company #factory #community #influence #country #support #position
People
 have argued about the plan to build a
factory
 near the residential
area
. Some
people
 think that it will bring many benefits to the local society,
while
 others believe that it will have a negative effect on the environment. The following essay will discuss in detail the advantages and disadvantages of it. On the one hand, it is true that building a new
factory
 near the local residential
area
 will bring a lot of benefits for many parties.
Firstly
, it will generate a lot of job opportunities for the local
people
. It is common that a
factory
 will absorb many employees, and for efficiency, it will give priority to hiring local
people
.
Secondly
, the plan will boost the economic development of its surrounding
area
. Many investors will build mini markets, gas stations or restaurants as many of the
factory
's workers will seek these commercial places.
As a result
, it will positively affect the real estate business of the surrounding
area
 as well. But I believe the
people
 of my locality are happy with their current economic condition. My
community
 is a beautiful and calm
area
 with almost negligible pollution. My
community
 would be harmed by a large
factory
.
In particular
, the
factory
 will destroy the calm and neat environment
as well as
 will increase the air, water and sound pollution. In the long run, the environment will be seriously hurt and
people
's health will be affected. Again the newly created
factory
 will make the
community
 crowded. To accommodate more workers more homes will be needed. I don't want to see too many cheaply constructed townhomes in my locality. I heartily believe
this
 growth will change my
community
 too much. I was born here and most of my memories are of the
area
. I love my
community
 very much. I feel that the dangers of the
factory
 are greater than the benefits. So I would strongly oppose the idea of establishing a
factory
 near my
community
.
