Meeting tomorrow regarding the proposed chicken houses

To inform those who did not attend the Tuesday night meeting-nothing really happened after the public comments. The council said they would take what we said into consideration. Unfortunately I received bad news today. The MDE has approved the permits for the chicken houses- but he has not gotten approval yet from the state. Either way, he can start construction any time. The process is very wrong and backwards. Despite all of this, we still may have a fighting chance. 

There is a proposed business park that is going in basically right next to the chicken houses. A Baltimore-based developer plans to bring a new commercial business park along the corridor of the Route 50 bypass at Naylor Mill Road in Salisbury. Kraus Properties, LLC. purchased the 26.35 acre parcel along Route 50 from SVN-Miller Commercial Real Estate. The land is being planned for a highway commercial park, targeting commercial, service and industrial uses. 

The City of Salisbury, along with the developers, look to bring convenience stores, hotels, and restaurants to the business park. That being said, this developer might not realize that his brand new businesses are about to be surrounded by a whole lot of stink--not good for hotels, restaurants, etc! 

We are in the process on contacting Mr. Kraus now to let him know- Also, if the city stretches their limits, the chicken houses will automatically affect their income (because there is a possibility Mr. Kraus might not want to build anymore)- I don't think Jake Day will be very happy about that.
