With a 3-0 vote, the Jefferson County Commission on Jan. 7 approved a plan for upgrading Montana City’s solid waste facility. The design for the plan, which requires a temporary site relocation during construction, is due mid-February.
The plan was identified in October after discussions about the expense and difficulty of building a new road as set forth in the previously preferred plan, which called for placing a new landfill site above the current site.
The new plan calls for building a 10-container site on the existing site. During the estimated 75-day construction period, a temporary site will be set up in the parking lot by the Montana City School track.
