I think the Orange County commissioners need to gather more knowledge and weigh more feasible options before settling on the Howell property for the waste transfer site.
I encourage them to solicit vendor proposals for disposal services for six to 12 months or longer. I think they must search for alternative sites using community input.
And, we need to focus on sites that are zoned commercial/industrial and near truly major highways (I-85 or I-40).
Why the big hurry to grab this unsuitable site, which will desecrate a big part of our rural area? There is something terribly wrong with rushing forward with this.
