Rocking S Farm, LLC has filed a petition in the Superior Court of Chattooga County against Commissioner Andy Allen, claiming he plans to unlawfully revoke a building permit for four chicken houses on their property. This permit was issued by former commissioner Blake Elsberry in October 2024, and Rocking S Farm relied on it to start construction and acquire federal loans. After receiving the permit, the farm prepared by hiring a grading company and contracting construction firms. On January 17, 2025, attorney Holly Strawn-Gilliland informed the farm that Commissioner Allen deemed the permit improperly issued and intends to revoke it during a public hearing on January 27. The farm states there have been no formal objections to the construction before this letter. Rocking S Farm claims the commissioner’s actions lack grounds and due process. A hearing is set for February 10, 2025, and until then, the permit revocation is postponed. The farm seeks a judgment to clarify its rights, an injunction against the revocation, and damages.
