BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota’s Health Department is holding hearings next month on a proposed hog operation in Ramsey County.
The agency says Grand Prairie Agriculture wants to build a 2,500-hog and pig operation about 10 miles west of Devils Lake.
Some people in the area have expressed concerns about property values and environmental problems, while others see a potential boost to the economy.
The hearings are on Sept. 12, at 1 p.m. at the Spirit Lake Casino near St. Michael and at 5:30 p.m. at Lake Region State College in Devils Lake.
The department is accepting comments on the proposed hog farm through Sept. 8.
