Lorton, Va. –– Just who will own the Waste-to-Energy facility in Lorton? County taxpayers or a private company?
That’s what Fairfax County Supervisor Gerry Hyland will discuss at a meeting to be held at 7 p.m. Thursday January 27, at South County Secondary School in Lorton.
Since the facility began operation in 1990, Fairfax County has leased the facility to a private company, but that lease is running out.
Some county officials say it’s a good idea to buy the facility and maintain it, because it concerts waste into energy that can power up to 75,000 homes.
Other officials say the $418 million price tag is much too steep, and that it’s one expense the county shouldn’t have to burden.
Those who want to attend the meeting can call 703-780-7518 for more information, or email [email protected].
