TONIGHT: ZONING BOARD HEARS MEAT SMOKERS APPLICATION
The Wonder Group application to build 10 more outdoor meat smokers at the old Mayfair Farms will appear for the first time at the Zoning Board. The company is requesting a D variance, which is special permission to operate in a place it wasn't zoned for.
In an interesting move, Wonder hired former mayor, now state Senator John McKeon to represent them.
The plan calls for a total of 12 (they have two already) outdoor meat smokers — that is excessive. Imagine the smoke burning for hours, seven days a week, forcing neighbors in the Paddock Farms and Redwood area to breathe in carcinogenic smoke.
Please attend and say no to polluting our community with this plan to smoke meat 24/7.
Wood smoke produces a cancer-causing chemical called PAH – short for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon – and it’s considered many times more deadly than cigarettes. The EPA has issued warnings about wood smoke and the risks it can cause children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised.
