UPDATE: Attorneys for a Jacksonville-area perfume plant argued successfully Wednesday to have a portion of a lawsuit filed against the plant dismissed.
argue that strong smells they believe are coming from the Westside facility make life unbearable, but International Flavors and Fragrances Chemical Holdings said the lawsuit had no merit because the homeowner’s claims do not legally meet the standard of being a nuisance.
News4JAX has followed this story for years. Homeowners, particularly in the Murray Hill neighborhood, began reaching out to us saying they were being awakened in the middle of the night by the smell of strong fumes that they believe are coming from the IFF plant on Lane Avenue North. Others said they could smell it well into the morning hours.
The city of Jacksonville told us earlier this year it had received nearly 3,000 complaints about the smell between Jan. 1, 2021, and Feb. 1, 2022. Preliminary data from the City of Jacksonville-commissioned Envirosuite study suggests that other facilities, which are closer to Murray Hill, are more likely to be contributing to objectionable odors there.
