STRAWBERRY PLAINS, Tenn. The Strawberry Plains community is outraged after hearing about a new proposal that seeks to rezone a Agricultural-2 farm into an Industrial-2 slaughterhouse.
The property is located in between Bruner and Eslinger Roads off of Highway 11E. It is surrounded by family homes. These are homes, these are families, this is not a place for a slaughterhouse, said Melinda Earnest.
