North Star seeks designation as regional solid waste planner
The North Star Council of Governments urged Gov James A Rhodes to name its four county area a solid waste region and to appoint the council as regional planning agent. If approved, North Star could apply for federal planning grants under a 1976 act and begin a regional disposal plan for Huron Crawford Seneca and Wyandot counties within a year. Executive Director Ed Leveritt cites population growth and waste rise while locals resist federal dictates. Congress has earmarked planning and implementation funds for these regional efforts.
