A public consultation held in Liepāja regarding the plan to build an aviation fuel production facility attracted approximately 160 attendees in person, with another 50 individuals participating online. The most pressing concern among residents was the plant being situated close to a residential area, specifically in the territory currently occupied by the 'Lauma' motor park. Despite the area's designated use for production, attendees expressed anxiety over the potential health risks and quality of life impacts associated with the new facility.

Many participants in the discussion raised doubts about the assurances given by the developers that the factory would not pose a threat to public health. Community members felt a general atmosphere of distrust, underscoring the importance of transparency and thorough communication between developers and residents. Guntars Berčs, a local resident, praised the public meeting as an important opportunity to understand the implications of the project, referring to it as a 'mega project'.

Jānis Kisiels, a board member of Liepājas SEZ SIA 'Norsaf', acknowledged the validity of the residents' concerns, emphasizing that it was not opposition but rather justified inquiries from the public. This sentiment reflects a growing need for developers to address community apprehensions adequately as new industrial projects are proposed, particularly in areas where people live nearby. With rising tensions, it remains essential for proponents to engage in ongoing dialogue with local stakeholders to foster trust and transparency throughout the project's development.
