Peach County commissioners considering legislation on greenhouses [Video]

PEACH COUNTY, Ga. — Peach County commissioners are expected to vote on a ‘greenhouse and light’ ordinance. This proposed legislation comes five years after some folks near Pure Flavor, located along Highway 96, complained about the giant greenhouse. 

Pure Flavor is a Canadian company that grows vegetables. The three million square foot facility in Peach County’s back yard is the first of the company’s kind outside of its Canadian headquarters. The project broke ground and opened doors in 2018.
