Solid Waste Moratorium
There will be a public hearing for consideration of adopting an Ordinance extending the temporary moratorium related to Solid Waste Management Facilities. Last year the County Commission adopted an ordinance establishing a temporary moratorium on the processing of applications for, and the issuance of, permits, development orders, DRC approvals, administrative approvals, or other approval of any type for any new construction of solid waste management facilities, resource recovery systems and other facilities. This will extend it an additional six months.
