I think that point is long past. Initially the project was to continue at the Eubanks Road site, but since has done nothing but follow the path of least resistance, no matter what results of the technical, economic, and environmental studies concluded. The second point is the false assumption from the board of the need to have a transfer station in place when the land fill closes. There are other alternatives such as under-utilized facilities in neighboring communities that can serve as a stop-gap until the county can make a complete and fair study of all options. This entire process has definitely been a case of the cart leading the horse. Two points:
