Canadian Corporation to Invade Tioga County
Rumor has it that a chicken CAFO will be inflicted on Tioga Community.
A Tioga County neighbor notified us that there are plans to build a large scale chicken farm in New York’s southern tier Tioga County. The farm would grow and ship 30,000 live chickens a month to New York City. They talk about a capacity of 180,000 chickens. They offer to build the facility (three large barns) at a cost of $2M, contract with the farmer, and expect to creat 10 low paying jobs per facility.
This area is part of the Susquehanna River watershed- one of the 10 most endangered rivers in the United States.
