A dispute over $2.5 million in undistributed Region 2000 Services Authority funds will be handled in court after authority members gave Region 2000 staff the greenlight to hire an attorney in response to the pending excess revenue litigation.
The authority is made up of four member localities, each represented by leadership from the counties of Appomattox, Campbell and Nelson, plus the city of Lynchburg. Together, they operate the regional landfill on Livestock Road on behalf of its members.
Through the lawsuit, Campbell and Lynchburg are seeking a judgment regarding the meaning and usage of âexcess revenueâ as it pertains to the authorityâs original member use agreement adopted in 2008. The differences in interpretation of this phrase have halted millions in funds from being distributed to the two localities.
