Zoning Debate Tackles Audrain County Growth
Robert Simonds argues Audrain County must adopt planning and zoning to prevent unwanted development and encroachment from neighboring counties. He cites the Cannon Dam project, the grandfather clause, and a 125000-dollar farm nuisance case to illustrate how zoning can protect property values and guide land use. The five meeting series hosts discuss April 24 voting on the measure.
