City officials in Fremont, Neb., are moving forward with plans for Costco Wholesale Corp. to build a massive chicken complex in town while residents continue to fight the project. The Fremont City Council tonight will consider granting Costco government incentives including $1.35 million in economic-development grants. Local residents concerned about the potential environmental impact of the facility have been fighting it through litigation. Late last week, two residents filed an amended complaint charging that the city approved the project’s expansion without notice.
