The Gadsden Times
If you think the sale of Gadsden Airport Authority property to Pilgrim’s Pride for an animal parts rendering plant is a can of “worms,” I think there are financial questions regarding the Northeast Alabama Regional Airport that could make that controversy look mild in comparison.
The rendering plant controversy should be the catalyst for a renewed request to the State of Alabama for a forensic financial audit of the books of the Gadsden airport, dating back to the $6 million bond issue in 2003. That audit is the subject for a future commentary.
Pilgrim’s Pride has offered to buy or lease 88 acres of Gadsden airport property to build the rendering plant. The company has offered the GAA $1.1 million as an outright purchase, or would take out a 30-year lease at $55,000 annually.
A hearing slated for Friday is off for now, attorneys say, after defendants in a lawsuit challenging zoning at the proposed site for a Pilgrim s Pride rendering plant agreed not to seek rezoning of the property on Steele Station Road until after a public hearing in August.
An order issued late Thursday afternoon said the hearing had been continued by a joint motion from the parties. It was rescheduled for 9 a.m. Sept. 10.
The lawsuit pits Dynamic Collision and more than 20 property owners in the Steele Station Road area against the City of Gadsden, the Gadsden Airport Authority and Pilgrim s Pride. The plaintiffs contend property there, zoned for light industry, should not be used for the construction of a rendering plant. The matter is set for trial in October,
