Ferndale council approves special‑land‑use permit for chemical storage expansion at 1401 Farrell
Summary
After a public hearing and unanimous planning commission recommendation, council approved McDermott’s request to add two enclosed storage buildings at 1401 Farrell, limited to handling and storing hazardous chemicals and prohibiting manufacturing on site.
