Virginia General Assembly finally settles the Aquaculture war in York County

The Virginia General Assembly finally settles the Aquaculture war in York County.

Looks like the good guys, oyster lovers, job seekers & the Chesapeake Bay finally win !!! This week, the Va General Assembly voted 128 to 5 to allow aquaculture wherever the cities/counties have zoned for commercial agriculture !!! In other words city/county leaders cannot stop oyster farmers from using their land if the city/county has already zoned it for a pig or buffalo farm.... makes sense to me!! So after tens of thousands of legal expenses, and major impediments/disruptions from York County leaders, my family Forbidden Oysters® farm can continue to provide oysters all across America. My County officials just called an ALL-Day, unplanned, unannounced meeting for this Saturday !!! I wonder what the meeting is about? Greg Garrett
