Silfab Solar is releasing the following update regarding its Fort Mill facility:
"This morning, Silfab is commencing with repair activities in coordination with DES and local officials, and a third-party engineering firm. This work will focus on repairs resulting from the Tuesday, March 3rd event, as well as, testing tank integrity related to the HF drip.
"Following the resolution passed last night, we want to provide insight into the communications on Thursday, March 5th. Silfab informed school officials prior to 5:00 pm that we had agreed to voluntarily cease all operations for Friday in consideration of their request and in the spirit of partnership with the school and community.
"After being notified of this fact, school officials still made the decision to close Flint Hill Elementary School for Friday. We recognize the district’s authority to determine school activities, and appreciate York County’s confirmation that there was “no threat to the public and was verified by Emergency Management on scene.”
"As part of our commitment for enhanced communication during this time, we will share further updates as they become available."
