The Louisville Metro Board of Zoning Adjustment has approved a request by JBS USA to expand its Butchertown pork packing plant. The company plans to expand its animal bleeding and stunning building and enclose its outdoor unloading area, reports the Louisville Courier-Journal.
After obtaining Monday’s approval to expand, JBS plant manager John Cliff said the board’s ruling was “a breakthrough for us” that will lead to reduced odors once the outdoor area is enclosed.
