County denies variance for Co op building project
Finney County Commission rejected a variance to allow Garden City Co op to construct a chemical storage facility three miles north of Holcomb near Lowe and Big Lowe roads. Officials cited costs of a Bre sprinkler system and delayed the permit process, with a potential special meeting if planning progress stalls. County fire officials noted state guidance did not require ore suppression systems for similar facilities, prompting requests for state confirmation and complete permit documents. John McClelland accused planners of roadblocks and punitive actions, insisting the process move forward after final information is provided.
