The information below clearly says value added but the CEN lawyer left that out of his statement to council, emphasizing "approved" but failing to add value added. That is what I have been saying all along. The value added definition as set by the town includes packaging, thus restricting the size dedicated for that purpose. So though the company says quite correctly HC does not allow for processing thus no value added, the towns definition of value added includes not only processing but packaging. That prevents a large scale canning operation for example from locating there. In order to process more, the company has to apply for a zoning amendment to have that size area from being restricted under value added. See, that is the gist of the matter. The town can turn down the application while not violating the fact the company is zoned properly to grow, just not to process huge amounts, therefore the company can only appeal the towns decision to deny the zoning amendment to the OMB if the town turns it down and it is within its power to do so with no threat of civil action. The company knew of the value added designation when they decided to locate there. They cannot sue the town for anything if the zoning amendment is denied. Bill continued to say they were approved, he just failed to include that yes, we are approved but with restrictions on the amount we can process there. That is one of the reasons things are the way they are today.
