Cobden rejects migrant worker housing plan appeal
The Cobden planning commission refused the Union-Jackson County Farm Labor Association request to build a 300000 housing project for migrant workers inside a 1.5 mile perimeter. The association previously gained federal loan and grant approval in 1967 for a 20 acre site one half mile west of Cobden. More than 100 people attended the July 19 hearing before the commission, and the association plans to appeal to the village board of appeals after the zoning decision. Mayor Carl Wilkins said the board chair will be named at the Monday meeting.
