A 1980s decision by County Commission appears to be at the root of the county's lack of options to stop a Chattanooga-area developer from licensing a new landfill in north Oneida
Well done article. We are rethinking the downtown transfer station out of respect for the concerns of local business owners downtown.
The only correction is that Norfolk Southern has provided Letters of Intent on the Landfill site in the past. They have not provided the same for the previously proposed Transfer Station.
We appreciate the comments from the public last night and we want to say you were heard! Thank you
ok so if they cant stop the landfill because of a court order, it doesnt mean they are obligated to approve a transfer station in the middle of town, and it doesnt mean they are obligated to approve trash trucks driving thru town. they can make an ordinance forcing trash trucks to take an alternative route. which in turn would force the landfill group to build a separate route, a bypass for trash trucks, which would keep them out of the town.
