Zoning Compromise Clears Path for Monroe Plant
Butler County commissioners approved a zoning compromise allowing Gardner Board and Carton Co to proceed with Manchester Machine Co plant near Monroe. The plan keeps 300 feet of property for factory use while 200 feet remain residential, with a 100-foot buffer strip. Monroe officials opposed rezoning to protect future annexation and village tax base.
