The Board of Jefferson County Commissioners directed staff to continue exploring a new location for a solid waste transfer station in south county . Staff emphasized that any potential move remains years away and unfunded. The location being explored is a county-owned property near the intersection of state Highways 104 and 19.
âWe talked about the timeline (at a recent meeting). No time soon,â Solid 91²Ö¿â Manager Al Cairns said in a workshop presentation for the board Monday. âItâs quite a lengthy process there. And, of course, we have exactly no money to build a new site, presently.â
A slide in Cairnsâ presentation circled 2032 as a projected date. Moving forward is essential, Cairns said. He referred to the process of establishing facilities that will fit future needs as a race. âWeâre trying to get a new facility built before we throw money into a facility where weâre not going to get a high return on that investment,â Cairns said. âWeâre trying to minimize how much we spend to keep the facility operational while we plan for and build a new facility.â
