A decision on whether a construction and demolition debris landfill will be built in Forsyth County, N.C., has been postponed for a second time, according to a report in the Winston-Salem Journal (Winston-Salem, N.C).
County commissioners have decided to delay a vote on a proposal to build a C&D landfill in the community because the vice-chairwoman of the board of commissioners was absent at the time of the vote, according to the report.
The vote has been postponed until June 26 when the vice-chairwoman, who is to undergo hip-replacement surgery, is expected to return.
The plan calls for a 316-acre parcel of rural land to be rezoned so it can be converted into a C&D landfill and recycling facility. The proposed facility will straddle Forsyth and Stokes counties and will accept only C&D debris.
A number of residents have voiced opposition to the plan. More than 100 opponents to the landfill attended the May 22 meeting, according to the report.
