Exactly, this is a re-zoning process not “opening a manufacturing plant”.
I can almost guarantee this land was purchased for significantly less because it is agricultural land as well.
States have plenty of reasonable concerns about re-zoning agricultural land into commercial land. The most obvious being that if there are spills or other environmental issues it could destroy much of the agricultural land around it. Needing to know past owners is to make sure a previous bad actor did not create a new shell company to sell to hide the real owner. The previous owner could have already been banned from commercial development due to the above or other issues.
The fact that the author is intentionally misleading this article shows that they are a dishonest actor and is part of why we ended up needing all this procedure.
- manquer 6y agoThe problem is not the number of documents he had to do, he didn’t have major concerns on that . The bribery expected in many of the depts, broken website, all the delays , lack of responses, after 9 months he is not more than half way into the process is the problem . If they denied him with valid reasoning early on and communicated in reasonable time this won’t be a problem .

Ironically both the Forestry Dept. and the Pollution Control Board were the fastest to certify so maybe this isn't the problem, eh?
- imtringued 6y agoThe author is dishonest because he refuses to pay bribes? If anything dishonest people have an easier time because they would just pay the bribe. The author doesn't complain about the necessity. He is complaining that compliance doesn't result in receiving a permit.
