NEWBERG, Ore. — Planning commissioners in Yamhill County, Ore., have approved a controversial proposed hemp and marijuana processing facility.
KOIN reported that the facility will be 12 minutes outside downtown Newberg. Many members of the public are concerned about livability, water usage, odors, traffic, noises, proximity to homes, possible chemical usage, a potential increase in crime and more.
In late August, OreTex Farms, LLC submitted a land-use application, expressing the company’s wish to process hemp and recreational marijuana.
