Chuck Thelen of Gotion Inc. will talk with Muskegon River Watershed Assembly executive director Scott Faulkner about environmental issues during the next “Chat with Chuck” town hall meeting on Tuesday, June 18 at 7 p.m. 

Gotion Inc. and the MRWA have worked collaboratively on a variety of important topics since last May. Gotion also has discussed the types of materials that will be used at the plant with MRWA members and sought the group’s opinion during the plant’s overall design process.

“We are pleased to have Scott Faulkner join us for this important discussion and look forward to some engaging questions from area residents,” said Thelen, vice president of Gotion Inc. – North American Manufacturing. “We’ve enjoyed working with the Muskegon River Watershed Assembly for more than a year now, and Scott’s insight during the meeting will be valuable.”

Thelen also will provide meeting participants with an overall update on the proposed battery components facility in Green Charter Township and take any general questions as well.
