When? The hearing before the Wayne County BZA is tonight at 6:00PM. Wayne County’s regulation require a CAFO to get BZA approval before going forward:

The Wayne County Board of Zoning Appeals will consider whether to approve allowing a large hog operation in southern Wayne County at its monthly meeting at 6 p.m. today.The proposal for the hog farm includes two buildings that could each hold up to 4,000 hogs and would be located at 8198 Union County Line Road near Willow Grove Road. Manure storage tanks would be underground.

The article doesn’t say who is requesting approval to install the hog operation. The parcel identified in the article is a 76 acre parcel that used to be owned (and may still be owned) by Linn & Dorothy Snyder of Greensfork, Indiana. Nice looking creeks on this parcel:
