RICHMOND, Calif. - Richmond officials are set to continue hearings into a request by Chevron Corp. to upgrade a refinery it operates in the city.

Hundreds of people on both sides of the issue jammed into a Richmond City Council meeting Tuesday night.
Chevron wants to upgrade its facility by building a new power plant, hydrogen plant and reformer.
