Newtown resident Cheryl Castleberry can remember playing with other neighborhood kids in a clear field until Blaze Recycling & Metals set up shop on that land. Newtown is 10 city blocks located in southeastern Gainesville that grew from the discarded remains of others after a devastating tornado in 1936. The community has several industrial businesses situated nearby, and residents have complained about the smell of chemicals in the air and of family members and loved ones who have died of illness and disease.
