HTN: Controversial William Street Business

Buffalo zoning officials have put the stamp of approval on the opening of a slaughterhouse on William Street. The Common Council will also likely approve the business' license. Unanimous approval did come with conditions. No outdoor animal pens are allowed, roof and walls must be insulated to prevent odors from seeping outside, and a vent must be installed. All the proper permits must be obtained from the city, county and state. The slaughterhouse will include a butcher shop and farmers' market.
