Supervisors delay dump deal decision
The Fauquier supervisors said Monday that they needed two more days to decide whether to buy a 207-acre farm in the southern part of the county for a proposed landfill.
Chairman John B. Adams (Scott District) said the extra time was needed because most of the supervisors had not thoroughly reviewed a soils and water study of the proposed sit.
The study concluded that 103 acres of the site would be suitable for a landfill. The supervisors briefly discussed the study in a special meeting Monday morning before going into a closed session to discuss whether to sign the purchase contract for the Opal farm with Dell Ennis for $352,000.
The supervisors will decide the matter Thursday, which also is the closing date on the contract.
‘Fresh’ school design promised
Architects have promised the Clarke County School Board a “fresh approach” in designing a new high school to meet the $4.5 million limit set by the county supervisors.
The governing body recently increased it maximum spending limit by a half million dollars on the condition that the School Board complete a core school that can “stand alone” for some time into the future.
The supervisors said any further expenditures for additions to the building will have to be tunneled through the county’s Capital Improvement Plan.
Harrisonburg Architect Edward McClintock said his firm’s new approach would answer most of the objections raised by teachers and parents over a scaled down $4 million high school plan previously presented. However, McClintock added that the new design probably won’t include an auditorium, because of the funding limits.
