🆘 Important announcement! 📣
It’s recently come to my attention that a property located at the corner of 700 E. and 800 S. County Line Rd. has been petitioned to be re-zoned .
The rezoning will change this property from agricultural to industrial farming . What does this mean? It means that the owners of this property want a start up of a mega hog farm.
This farm will have a negative affect on our the property values. Not to mention our quality of life. Prevailing winds will bring the 💩 odors 💨 of thousands of HOGS to your BACKYARD!
Please take the time to look at the documentation that I’m attaching in the comments . I think it’s very important that we all show up to this meeting. This will be a fight as this property is in Whitley County and we reside in Allen.
How can you help ?, show up to this meeting. It won’t take 100 people showing up it will take thousand people from all of the neighborhoods around this area.
Call your state and local representatives. We need them on board and advocating for us. You can also start calling the commissioners of Whitley County. Our voices need to be heard.  Please talk to your neighbors. Start calling any of your friends that live in this area.
We don’t have much time.
Call your state and local representatives.
