WYOMING
The Laramie County Board of Commissioners voted to ease up on a long-standing requirement for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO). Previously, CAFOs wanting to locate in the Wyoming county had to get permission from all landowners within a three-mile radius of their farm.
Now, after months of debate, it has been decided that any CAFO looking to build in the county will only need permission from neighbors within a one-mile radius. This change matches the current state statute.
