There's even waste processing plants going up and now folks are concerned about them polluting the environment. The locals in Cass County tried to fight the construction of one there but the local government stalled any meetings or votes due to Covid restrictions long enough the developer to finish constructing the facilities even though no formal or legal contracts had been signed. By then, "their hands were tied." The same company who forced this upon Cass County tried to construct a similar facility in another part of the state but were finally told to get lost by the locals and they won the battle in the court of law. But they saw a willing victim here locally and exploited the process long enough to get it done. Totally criminal.
I really don't want to be around this kind of stuff.
“I really don’t want to be around this kind of stuff.”
Me, either. We bought a retirement home looking out over a lake and National Forest land on the far shore, so I thought we were protected. Then a rich guy bought the house next to us (he has lake frontage) and is putting up a huge and very ugly auxiliary building close to our house. His main house is way below on the lake shore, so he won’t see it (plus he will be here only during the summer months!) but it impacts us every day. Ugh.
