County leans to transfer station plan for waste handling
The county moves toward a transfer station at the present landfill site with a $300,000 facility portion, plus scales and scalehouse, road work, and a prefabricated building. SCS engineers estimate four months for design, bidding, and about three months to build, targeting a ground breaking by April and a temporary transfer site to operate after April 9 if needed. A public hearing on the solid waste management plan is set for 10 a.m. Wednesday in Franklin County Courthouse basement.
