The Christian County Board met on Tuesday night and approved moving the Central Commodity FS Anhydrous Plant out of Kincaid. The motion, which was approved by the ZBA earlier, was voted on after a long session that saw nearly 20 people talk and a 45-minute closed session.
The vote was 9-1 in favor of moving with yes votes from David Buckles, Timothy Carlson, Linda Curtin, Clint Epley, Ken Franklin, Vicki McMahon, Denise McWard, Brian Sharp, Thomas Snyder Jr., Jean Vandenbergh, and Clayton Walter. David Puccetti was the only No vote. Chairman of the Christian County Board Bryan Sharp says this is a decision the board doesn’t take lightly.
Sharp continued by stressing that there was a lot of talking and weighing of pros and cons.
Sharp says there are plenty of pros to moving the facility out of Kincaid and into the country including being in a safer place.
The county approved Chillifest on the courthouse lawn, and work on drainage ditches, along with some other variances and ZBA approvals. It was announced by Sharp that Jeff Nolen and Seth Foster had resigned from their positions on the board. Sharp said they were moving forward with names to replace them and thanked them for their time on the board.
Under new business, the board said they would be taking a look at the rules to make sure that everything was being done the way that it should be. The next County Board meeting is set for October 17th.
