County Shoots Down Tighter Poultry House Regs

SNOW HILL -- Another attempt in a series of efforts by Worcester County resident Larry Ward to level tighter restrictions on poultry houses failed to get off the ground during Tuesday’s county commissioners meeting.

Ward, who is no stranger to the lobbying the commission, came before the body with a text amendment calling for a number of limits and setbacks on poultry houses. Specifically, Ward’s proposal calls for limiting the size of poultry houses to under 3,000 birds, and to impose setbacks amounting to 150 feet in the front yard, and 200 feet in the side and rear. Additionally, no poultry houses could be located within 700 feet of any preexisting dwellings or most buildings.

Tell Larry he needs to move to another part of the country and shut up. The poultry industry is an important part of the Eastern shores economy and without it we would be poverty stricken. Or is he just another liberal who wants everyone to be poor except them.
