OTHER MEETINGS OR EVENTS OF INTEREST
April 9th – Cumberland County Board of Supervisors regular meeting. We are now into April
2024 and our Board of Supervisors have been in office now going on their 4th month. Plenty of time to get their feet wet. But it is also time to let them know your position on the proposed landfill. This item has been discussed by only one person in depth during the first 3 months of this year. Believe it is time to let the Board know we still have major concerns with the proposed landfill – wells, traffic, health, rural living, etc. Therefore, I am asking you to please try to attend the meeting on April 9th and speak about the landfill. We are now heading into our 7th year of opposition to this project. The County is better now than where it was in 2018. We have met our financial obligations and improved without $$$ from the proposed landfill; therefore, no need for it.
IT IS NOT A DONE DEAL!!!
Let Your Voice Be Heard – plan to attend the meeting on April 9th at 7pm at the Courthouse. FYI – if you are late you can still sign on the sheet on the table in the back of the room to speak -- a change since the beginning of the year. You are limited to 3 minutes per person.
April 19th – CCLA will have a table at Powhatan Earth Day celebration – a family event. Location 3910 Old Buckingham Rd (Court House Lawn), Powhatan, VA 23139 from 4-6p.m. Local vendors, live music, dinner, and more including environmental tips on protecting our environment. It is all FREE FREE FREE!
We are working on other events for the coming months to help defray necessary costs such as legal fees and building rental. If you have any ideas, please let us know by an quick e-mail or call 804-308-5748.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Without your support, things could be a lot different in Cumberland County with trash trucks on our well traveled roads, increase noises, and smells, etc. But thanks to you and your support this is not true, instead we continue to fight to protect our environment, our way of life, our health, our water supply and so many more things. Each of you are greatly appreciated!!
