After communicating with the applicant for the special exception hearing case number 2022-0004-X (special exception for commercial poultry killing as an accessory farm use in a proposed building located on an existing 109-acre farm), I am pleased to report that the application has been withdrawn.

The applicant has also informed me that there is no intention at this time to refile for the special exception. 

Hidden Waters will remain a regenerative and sustainable farm. 

As I have shared publicly, I stand with our community. My team and I have spent countless hours over the last several days responding to and following up on information requests related to this issue. 

I appreciate the passion and spirit many residents have shown throughout the process. I believe that this is a positive outcome for the community. 

As always, I will remain a strong advocate for the residents of the 2nd District. 

Please feel free to continue to reach out to my office with your concerns.
