WBOC's Hunter Landon reported that Tyson Foods has secured a permit to demolish a feed mill that was severely damaged by an explosion last May, according to town officials. The incident, which led to a prolonged fire, had caused significant concern among the residents of Snow Hill, Maryland, due to persistent odors and fears of air toxicity.
Despite these concerns, town officials reassured the public that there was no risk to public safety. The demolition process began with the dismantling of the grain silo this past Friday, ahead of the full demolition expected to take place soon. The prolonged blaze had caused the roof of the feed mill to collapse, prompting urgent calls for action from the community.
Residents expressed relief and curiosity about the future of the site, with concerns about the potential for similar incidents. The future of the Tyson Foods property remains undecided.
