Supporters as well as those opposed to the proposed zoning legislation for a new dog training and boarding facility in rural Caddo Parish expressed their thoughts by calling in or having their letters read Monday during the Caddo Parish Commission’s first meeting of the new year.
Residents who live near the proposed facility expressed concerns about the potential noise from the dogs barking, disturbing the serenity of the rural area, dogs getting out and posing a threat to children and animals, and increased traffic.
A petition from residents with about 60 or signatures opposing the facility was submitted to the commission.
