I never encouraged anyone to sell but the truth will set you free to find other message boards to post on. Nothing has changed. That flaccid press release last weekend showed just how stupid the whole situation has become.
At the November council meeting it was stated quite clearly the zone they were in was approved, but, it was also stated it is Agricultural Value Added which means processing restrictions. That zoning does not fall under lawful nonconforming because the restrictions already were in place prior to HC awarding a license to CEN so they cannot grandfather in. If it was zoned agricultural with no value added, they could have begun processing and used that activity to be grandfathered in under lawful nonconforming. The failure of CEN to determine what the value added meant is their undoing as the Supreme Court already has ruled it is up to the buyer, or in this case the renter, CEN to find out what restrictions there might be on that land in terms of zoning. The fact the owner Jim Shaaban has twice attempted to have it rezoned only to fail knows of this first hand and to think he has not informed his cousin of this is too ludicrous to consider. If the city changes that zoning and HC grants the license and they begin processing, which they will have to do to qualify under LNC they might have a case but there is less than a month to go before the town votes on zoning amendments and according to one member of council the buildings are non-operational. If you think they can get a license next week, get the equipment installed, plant their seeds, harvest the first crop and dry it, sort it, package it and ship it all before November 4th I would say that is a rather optimistic view of the situation.
OTC, your tech analysis is what it is. At least you are attempting to explain the situation, like myself, but if some choose to think you are doing this for your own gain, that is their loss.
