Beef Plant Companies Being Sued For Disruption And Property Devaluation
A number of companies involved in the building of a beef processing plant are being sued by local residents, who state that their actions are causing disruption in the area, and will most likely adversely affect property prices in the area. The defendants in the case are Northern Beef Packers, H&S Land and Livestock and Hub City Livestock.The plaintiffs, local residents Aaron Johnson, Roger Blum and Evelyn Blum, are suing over the companies’ plans to build the beef processing plant around a mile south of the town, where one of the companies owns around 100 acres of land.
The lawsuit is asking for a minimum of $75,000 for each of the three plaintiffs, and lawyers state that depending on the jury’s verdict it could be significantly more than this. The lawsuit also asks that the companies 'cease and desist in their actions and to abate their nuisance and anticipated nuisance.'
Among the complaints being made as part of the lawsuit, the plaintiffs claim that the plant will be unsightly and cause fumes and nasty odors, thus affecting property prices in the area. The lawsuit will also address the issues of noise nuisance and the effects of the bright lighting that will be used at the plant.
