Expansion "Community Meeting" Tuesday!

When the Yamhill County Board of Commissioners rezoned Riverbend Landfill to "Exclusive Farm Use," they required Riverbend's owner, landfill giant Waste Management, to hold a public meeting to introduce their expansion plan to the community.

That meeting is this Tuesday night, November 11, Veterans Day.  Questions and comments from the meeting will be entered into the record for the hearing that the Planning Commission will hold on the expansion application.  To ensure that your questions and comments become part of the record, put them in writing and insist that Waste Management respond in writing.

What:

"Community meeting"  Tuesday, November 11, at 6:15 pm at the McMinnville Grand Ballroom, 325 NE Third Street in Mac.  "Light supper" to be provided.

Planning Commission hearing, Thursday, December 4, 7:00 pm in the McMinnville Civic Center (corner of Baker and 2nd Streets in Mac).  The Commission could reach a decision that same night, but in the past has put the decision off until January to allow the parties to submit follow-up comments.
