Kent County is another step closer to turning its trash into treasure with the Sustainable Business Park project.
The Kent County Department of Public Works (DPW) in 2018 set a goal to divert 90% of Kent County-generated trash that goes to landfills by 2030 by building a Sustainable Business Park on 250 acres of land adjacent to the South Kent Landfill on the Allegan County-Kent County line in Dorr Township and Byron Center.
As the Business Journal reported in October, the DPW drew nine proposals from around the world during its request for proposals (RFP) phase.
