Over 100 Attend Pettis County Landfill Meeting
Over 100 people showed up at a meeting Thursday night to hear the owner of a company talk about a landfill operation proposed for western Pettis County.
Derrick Standley s business enterprise, Pettis County Development Company (not affiliated with Economic Development Sedalia-Pettis County, EDSPC), is in the process of securing 628 acres of land, 95 acres of which will be dedicated to disposal.
The permitting process with DNR is in progress, and three representatives of the Department of Natural Resources were on hand Thursday at US Bank, 3615 W. Broadway, where the public informational meeting took place.
Standley made several statements about his company s intentions, and also took questions from the audience, which was limited to around two dozen people at a time in a third-floor conference room. Those waiting to get in were lined up in the hallway and downstairs and out the south door of the bank building.
