PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE REJECTED FOR LIVESTOCK AUCTION

(Wayne County, IN)--A zoning change for a controversial proposed livestock auction in Wayne County has been rejected by the county’s Board of Zoning Appeals.  The proposal was for the auction to operate several days a week at a property on Helm Road just outside of Williamsburg.  Residents in the area for months had expressed numerous concerns and objections.  The Board ultimately agreed with those residents and believed that the impact on them would be too great.
