According to the letter presented to the Lakeshore council in November, 2013, council DID know exactly what was going on. No misdirection at all. As far as the "agricultural storage" on the building permit, does the Lakeshore building permit application have a category for MMJ production facility? I bet not
The mayor and council was very aware of CEN's plans. Remember that video of the mayor welcoming CEN to lakeshore and 1.3 million pounds was spoke about on that video.
Maybe you missed it in the September 29th press release so I'll do a real quote for you "those deficiencies were immediately addressed". Carry on. Next.
