A bid to build a craft distillery and rickhouses to store the whiskey it produces in Madison County was put on hold last Thursday night. After a public hearing, the Board of Adjustments voted unanimously to table the request for a conditional use permit. Several residents who live near the 300-acre site voiced concerns about whiskey fungus, including Stephen Bennett:
“This whiskey fungus is the real deal in terms of a concern for property owners, coats, it can coat everything really trees, plants, your garden plants, as well as affecting property values.”
