The city of Manchester opposes a pig containment facility to be built north of the city, but city officials admit that little can do to prevent it from happening.
Adam Schulte proposed building a new pig containment facility that would spasser only 2,500 pig heads a quarter mile north of Honey Creek Road, three-eighths of a mile from Manchester city limits.
The city’s administrator, Tim Vick, said some 30 neighbors and citizens, many of whom lived on Honey Creek Road and Crescent Drive near the proposed site, attended the Manchester City Hall assembly on Monday night to express their considerations and frustrations about the project, with more than 460 citizens. signing a petition contrary to the plans.
Former MNR worker Gene Tinker also assisted in the meeting, assisting in answering questions from citizens and the city.
MNR told KMCH that if the structure design and manure control plan presented at its workplace are considered complete, regulations allow the structure to begin 30 days after the MNR has won the documents. therefore, if considered complete in accordance with regulations, the structure would be legal from October 10.
The City declares that while it has long since been with this proposed pig containment facility, it has signed a solution against it.
Vick says the next step is to work with the legislature to replace the city’s long-term pig containment services legislation. He advised local citizens to also touch State Senator Dan Zumbach and State Representative Lee Hein. Residents also touched Adam Schulte, directly to explain his considerations about his plans.
