The proposal also phone calls for development of a 30 x 40 concrete pad exterior the 1950’s Knight Cattle Corp. facility on Route 15.

Renaud stated economic rewards would contain giving additional processing capability to neighborhood farmers and producers. He stated his intention is to have the facility be inspected by the Virginia Division of Agriculture and Buyer Sciences (VDACS).
