October 2024 CCLA Updates and Events
There is a lot of different things happening at this time related to our endeavor to STOP the proposed Green Ridge landfill in Cumberland County.
First, I will address News Flash of August 15th where we addressed the development of a letter being sent to Green Ridge by the Board of Supervisors. A letter was sent and the County did receive a response back. There was a News Release posted on the County website late Friday, September 27, 2024. Below is a copy of that letter for you to read and decide for yourself its meaning.
It is noted this was done after the Townhall meeting held on Tuesday, September 24, 2024. At this meeting, several attendees made comments and/or asked questions about the proposed landfill. It was at this meeting, we also learned apparently the County has received some correspondence from Green Ridge concerning the Conditional Use Permit (CUP). However, details were not shared with those present. It must be noted there are numerous differences between what is in the current Board approved CUP and what has been submitted to the DEQ. The current CUP is due to expire in less than 9 months from now. This is why it continues to be important to attend Board meetings, Planning Commission meetings, and Townhall meetings and let your voice to be heard.
UPCOMING MEETINGS AND EVENTS
