CCRC Retains Local Attorney
The Concerned Citizens of Rappahannock County (CCRC) voted unanimously on November 17 to retain the legal services of local attorney Frank B. Reynolds, Jr. The organization wants to help the county find a different, “more acceptable” solution to the problem of waste disposal, according to a press release issued November 19 by CCRC.
Hie CCRC is petitioning the Board of Supervisors to reconsider its decision to condemn 138 acres on Route 621 for a sanitary landfill. According to the release, CCRC wants the board to study “more suitable real estate parcels.”
“Specifically, what we are urging the board to do is to accept our help in locating a site that is less costly to acquire and prepare, less disruptive to residential neighborhoods and real estate values and less environmentally destructive as well as mote accessible. Our studies to date convince us that there are several such sites," said CCRC Chairman Delbert Price.
CCRC members have put up money to pursue their course of action. According to the release, members pledged financial support to defray all necessary legal expenses in what CCRC members believe could be a long process. Tbe organization also has hired waste-disposal consultants, according to the release.
