(KLZA)-- Plans for a chicken facility in southeast Nebraska move forward.
The Johnson County Planning and Zoning Commission approved the construction of eight chicken growing houses on a property located southwest of Sterling following a public hearing held when they met September 11.
The Tecumseh Chieftan reports it was the third public hearing on a permit application filed by Jim Erickson.
The special use permit is approved as long as the Erickson family provided an indoor storage facility for the dry litter compost and follow through with proper disposal of the litter.
Johnson County Commissioners will vote whether or not to approve the special use permit during their October 22nd meeting, during which another public hearing is scheduled to be held at 10 a.m.
The meeting is open to the public.
