“(MedFlora is) now in the process of preparing some technical data, some updates in terms of where they’re at regarding smells, how they’re going to mitigate some of the issues with regards to water intake, sewage, all of those types of things,” Lambright said.

Once that information has been provided, as well as a public open house, staff will present a report to council requesting a public hearing.
