Those opposed to the AG park near Shideler, Indiana are starting to organize in advance of the effort to convince the county commissioners to rezone the property. They have hired former state legislator Bruce Munson as their attorney:
“A key concern is the potential for CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations) in this zoning category,” Munson said. “That’s not the only concern, but it’s a major one.”The owners of the proposed ag park have said they don’t intend to develop any CAFOs, and they plan to write covenants prohibiting them. In addition, the owners point out that CAFOs could be built on the site now, because CAFOs are allowed in the farming zone.
The only restriction on CAFOs in Delaware County is they are prohibited within 200 feet of a dwelling, school, church, or hospital.
