Farm land

As part of a 4 generation family living on the same land, I am appalled at the company's choice of location. Why did they choose a pasture in the middle of a nice rural community to install heavy industry? This place is several hundred miles from the closest corn growing region, the infastructure to support heavy industry (i.e. roads, utilities, fire services) simply doesn't exist in this location, and the location is surrounded by nice homes built by hardworking American citizens. I wonder if the fact that Webster county doesn't have any planning and zoning played a part in the company's choice??? The location is right over the Christian county line... It's the only thing that makes sense about this location.
Who's going to pay for all those necessary infastructure improvements to support this 252 acres of heavy industry? TheTAXPAYERS! Who will pay for the pollution cleanup and the new wells? The Citizens of Webster county. Who will deal with the 24 hour a day/50 week a year constant light, noise, stench, traffic, etc? The citizens. All to line someone's pocket.
