Bland County officials plan a multihundred-thousand dollar move to construct a new landfill after Mercer County officials refused Bland’s request to use the nearby Mercer site in Green Valley. Mercer leaders cited limited use and responsibility to Mercer taxpayers, while Bland moves to negotiate land for the future facility as the current landfill nears capacity.
