Adrian, MI – The Adrian City Commission took the next step in allowing the raising of chickens in the city limits at their meeting Tuesday night.
The group was given a revised ordinance from the Planning Commission, and they officially had a first reading and introduction. As per procedure, there will be a second reading and a vote on it at their next meeting, February 1st.
In addition to the second reading and vote, there will be a final chance for public input on the proposed ordinance at a public hearing that is scheduled on Feb. 1st, before the vote.
