Letter: What’s the hurry?

Posted on January 15, 2009January 15, 2009 by Staff

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.
