County reviews dust control costs for Midnight Farm extension
Douglas County Commission weighs a 10 year extension of Midnight Farm's conditional use permit at 2084 North 600 Road after traffic counts show the facility affects nearby roads. The plan includes the farm funding 1,000 feet of dust treatment and the county covering 4,000 feet. Also on agenda is a text amendment to allow small scale industrial uses via conditional use permit and the renewal of Prairie Moon School preschool's permit.
