A controversial poultry processing plant in Calgary is finally being demolished to the glee of many area residents who complained for years about the smell and noise.
A decommissioned Calgary poultry processing plant at the centre of numerous controversies over the years is finally being torn down.
The city took control of the former poultry processing plant site back in January 2022 after it expressed a desire to buy the land from Sofina Foods in 2017. The plant then moved to a different location in an industrial part of the city. “I think it’s time for the city to change,” Tufts said. “For this to be more of a residential and commercial neighbourhood as opposed to an industrial neighbourhood.”
