proposed slaughterhouse

To the Board of Supervisors, I live within a short radius of the proposed slaughterhouse. I’m deeply concerned that it’s being presented to the community as a boutique retail store with a slaughterhouse that will have a minimal impact on the community.

We are longtime residents of Carson City and oppose the slaughterhouse approved by the planning commission last week.

Supporters of the project say that our region of Nevada is in need of a slaughterhouse. We have no reason to dispute that. But that does not mean it should be located in Carson City. On the contrary, a slaughterhouse should be placed in a rural part of the region, not a populated urban area.

Apparently, on the slaughterhouse floor in our neighborhood. On the Planning Commission's agenda on 9/29 at 5 PM is a proposal to locate a slaughterhouse across the street from our neighborhood -- within sight of our kids' school bus stop, 900 feet from the Villa Sierra Mobile Home Park, and 1,056 feet from the Morgan Mill Road recreational area. Whoa! We’re a-OK with the facility, it’s the location that totally sucks -- it just doesn't seem right to us to have this kind of business in town. We have concerns.
