Is this sentence fine?

More and more city dwellers have come to think about the importance of a healthy living environment to their households. But for XX (a company), this question has been considered for 16 years.

Hi. This is an English translation of a news report in Chinese. Is the bold part fine? Does it make sense to say a question "has been considered for 16 years"? If it doesn't work, is it because "consider" is not a durative verb?

Thank you.
