One of the options the county and its leaders are looking at is expanding the landfill.
Rustburg District Supervisor, Jon Hardie, sent an email to 10 News early Monday about the hearing taking place.
“This is just a modified version of their 2014 Master Landfilling Plan that was voted against by the Planning Commission at that time.(Minutes from December 1, 2014 Planning Commission Meeting). I believe that their intention will be to max out the property if approved as shown by their 2014 Proposal," Hardie said in his email.
If the landfill is expanded by 60 acres, it would buy the county 24 more years.
