Green County Livestock Facility Study Group Sends Report and Recommendations to County Board

The Green County Livestock Facility Study Group will present its report and recommendations to the Green County Board at its May 8th meeting. At this meeting, the County Board will vote on whether or not to accept the report and recommendations for consideration. If the County Board votes yes, the relevant county committees will then begin to look at the recommendations. The report and recommendations can be viewed online at https://green.uwex.edu/livestock-facility-study/.
The Green County Livestock Facility Study Group was established by resolution of the Green County Board on August 8, 2017. The purpose of the Study Group is to use science-based information to provide the Green County Board with science-based recommendations developed to effectively protect groundwater, surface water, air quality, and public health and safety. The Study Group will dissolve after presenting its report and recommendations to the County Board.
