Change Of Site For Incinerator Approved In City Plan
A city committee approved relocating and extending the proposed incinerator to the area directly across from the Raleigh County Animal Shelter near the landfill. The change cuts costs to about 620000 from an earlier estimate of 815900 and saves 30000 by smaller office size and closer to a paved road. A $43100 federal pre planning grant funds the work as the city seeks a third planning extension.
