Born and raised local. I’m…

Born and raised local. I’m deeply worried about the economic and housing impacts of this proposed landfill in our town. Yes, within 800m of our time. Bringing in waste every day is not just an environmental issue; it will have a lasting effect on local property values, businesses, and the overall economic health of our community. The constant truck traffic will make the roads more dangerous, create noise pollution, and increase wear and tear on infrastructure. For people who live in this area, especially those looking to buy or sell property, this could dramatically reduce home values. It has. There are no gains and hard to upgrade... Our families are growing and our homes cannot. The rural charm and peaceful atmosphere that make this area desirable could be replaced by an industrial landscape, making it harder for people to invest in their homes or businesses. AND local businesses that depend on a stable and healthy community could suffer as people become less willing to move here or spend money here. We need to protect the livability of our town, the long-term value of our homes, and the economic stability of the region. A full environmental assessment is essential to fully understand the economic risks before this project moves forward, so that our community doesn’t pay the price for decisions made without considering the long-term consequences.
