City of Geneva Removes Chicken Provision From Proposed Zoning Code

By the slimmest of margins, Geneva City Council has voted to remove a provision in the new city’s zoning code allowing egg-laying hens on city property. The City Council’s vote was 5-4. On Finger Lakes News Radio’s “FLX Morning” Mayor Steve Valentino told Ted Baker his vote to remove the provision was what his constituents wanted.
