POLKTON Bob Johnson may have to leave his home, a house he built for himself over 40 years ago, and the area he has grown to love, all because of unbearable odors spewing out from Waste Connections’ Anson Landfill.
Johnson started noticing a horrific smell coming from the landfill in Polkton about three to four months ago. He lives less than two miles from the site. Barbara Kiker first smelled the odor about six months ago, which she at first believed to be a gas leak coming from someone’s house.
But it got worse.
“Now, it is about an every day or every other day occurrence,” Kiker said. “On real foggy days, it’s terrible. If the wind is blowing just right, it’s terrible.”
WADESBORO Anson County and Centralina Regional Council need assistance from residents to finish developing a Comprehensive Land Use Plan to stretch through the year 2040.
The twenty-year plan represents goals, recommendations and guidance to better develop the county in terms of growth, land use or transportation planning. A committee of local representatives have been working with Centralina to create this plan that will suite Anson county.
“From a participation stand point or public engagement standpoint, we’re looking for an adoption of the plan,” Centralina Assistant Planning Director Jessica Hill said. “It would go to the (County Commissioners) probably in February so we want to do a final round of public engagement.”
