A proposed expansion of the Region 2000 landfill had opponents attending a second public hearing on the matter this week. The projected lateral expansion would allow the landfill on Livestock Road to operate until 2027 and hold an additional two million yards of waste. Neighbors expressed concerns on Monday about landfill growth; and what it means for their property values and the possibility of more trash resulting in more sewage treatment sludge. According to the News & Advance, the master plan is still in its preliminary phases; and officials say opportunities will be available to comment throughout the process during other public hearings.
