Discussion regarding an expansion of Greensburg’s landfill recently continued. File photo
GREENSBURG The Decatur County Board of Zoning Appeals met recently to discuss the much debated issue of a landfill expansion at the site of the Decatur Hills/Best Way landfill at 2280 S. U.S. Hwy. 421, Greensburg, in Washington Township.
Following a lengthy discussion, the Board voted 3 to 2 in favor of allowing the special exception needed to move forward with the planned expansion.
Curt Publow, Environmental Compliance Manager for Best Way, spoke to the Board.
“I want to reiterate that we’re here to ask for a special exception which will allow us to continue our existing business of a landfill on a new 48.4 acres across the road from our original location,” Publow said. “This won’t represent a change in our practice or operation, but is simply an expansion in our business in an adjacent property.”
