Maury County passes resolution on landfills
COLUMBIA, Tenn. (AP) – Maury County officials have approved a resolution that bars landfills from locating near the Duck River.
The proposal stemmed from a request in August by two companies to create a landfill on 845 acres near the river. Although the companies withdrew their application for a zoning change in September after it sparked public opposition, controversy over the issue continued.
The Daily Herald (http://bit.ly/1hZmw6x) reports county commissioners voted unanimously on Monday night to approve the measure.
The vote came after at least two dozen residents voiced support for the measure.
