Though the likelihood of a landfill in Brant appears to be remote, residents are determined to remain vigilant to the possibility.
Betty O'Donnell representing the Friends and Neighbors Against the Brant Garbage Landfill, told Brant Town Board officials Tuesday (Jan. 9) they will be meeting monthly to keep abreast of any proposals that may present itself to the town.
"This is a steering committee made up of about 18 people," O'Donnell said.
Our purpose is to keep abreast on any information about the landfill issue and any other environmental issues in the town. We are here to help the town deal with these issues," said O'Donnell.
O'Donnell has been instrumental in organizing the residents against the landfill proposal since it was first brought before the board in July.
Meetings are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on the first Friday of the month at Holy Cross Church on Church Street in Farnham. The first meeting was held on Jan. 5.
In other business, the board approved Police Chief Wayne Falk's request to go to bid for a 2001 patrol vehicle. According to Supervisor Samuel J. Chiavetta Jr. this purchase has been budgeted.
A public hearing was set for 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb.13 for a special use permit for Nextel Partners of Rochester to co-locate at the Sprint Tower on the Bowman Farm off Mileblock Road.
This is the second Nextel site in the town in the past six months. Nextel is currently erecting a telecommunication tower and accessory building on property on Hardpan Road.
