Star Nursery has removed chain-link fences it installed in October around six of its eight valley locations, ReviewJournal.com reported. The barriers were installed to discourage day laborers from congregating on the properties. The nurseries were cited by the city and county for putting up the temporary fences without a permit. The owner was given until Jan. 6 to either remove them or apply for a permit for permanent fencing. That fencing would cost at least $200,000.
