LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Neighbors and businesses impacted by the Louisville plant explosion one week ago will have the chance to meet with Givaudan face-to-face this week.
Givaudan CEO Ann Leonard confirmed to a frustrated crowd on Monday there would be mobile office hours at the United Crescent Hill Ministries for anyone affected by the explosion.
Tuesday evening was the first night for meetings, and the company heard from those impacted and took down the information so they could start mapping out damage.
The blast shook the Dix's apartment so badly that the ceiling caved in.
Now, the home is condemned, and they said they've been houseless for the past week.
"It's been tough; by the grace of God I still have my mom, so we're staying with my mom." Shelby Dix said. "She already has people staying with her so we are laid out on the couch. That's nothing for a family of four, you know what I'm saying?"
She said the company offered her a couple hundred dollars and a gift card for her belongings that were destroyed in the blast.
Dix doesn't believe that's enough.
Here is when you can meet with Givaudan officials:
- Tuesday, Nov. 19 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., outside under the breezeway at the back entrance
- Wednesday, Nov. 20 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. in main room inside
- Friday, Nov. 22 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the main room inside
- Saturday, Nov. 23 from 10:00 a.m. to noon in the main room inside
