During Tuesday s Gadsden City Council meeting, council member Jason Wilson reminded people that the proposed Pilgrim s Pride rendering plant came from the State of Alabama, which first suggested it for Etowah County s Little Canoe Creek Mega-Site.
Wilson said the story of why the plant didn t go there varied it was too expensive to get water service there, or that the County Commission had considered it and decided it wasn t right for the site. But they were allowed to go through the process, Wilson said, of considering the pros and cons of the project, to visit a plant using the same kind of technology, then make their decision.
