The Stafford County Board of Supervisors voted to amend a previous ordinance in the County Code that will now halt the proposed construction of a waste-to-energy plant in Stafford.
The waste-to-energy plant was to be built on leased land where the regional landfill in Stafford is currently located on Eskimo Hill Road. The plant would have changed how the County would handle some of their waste disposal, using a process of pyrolosis, which heats waste to convert it into electricity.
The proposal brought forth included a $100,000 lease per year for the facility, which would cover 120,000 square feet, employ 60 people, bring $65 million to the area, and an provide an advance of $1 million to make modifications to Eskimo Hill Road, which leads up to the plant.
