STAFFORD, Va. — It’s back to the drawing board for a plan to lease land for a waste-to-energy plant at a regional landfill in Stafford County.
Stafford officials Tuesday chose to rescind a June approval that would’ve moved forward a plan for a $100,000 per year lease, and a $1 million advance payment by Energy Extraction Partners, LLC for land to build a facility that would convert landfill waste, including tires, to produce up to 15 megawatts of energy that would power up to 1,300 homes.

Because Virginia is home to 830,000 veterans, the Caucus plays a central role in maintaining Virginia’s national reputation as one of the most veteran-friendly states in the country.

Mom on the Run
I’m at Walmart, roving around with a shopping cart. I have no list, I left it at home, and I’ve been told that my list is questionable anyway. “I didn’t use half that stuff, Mom,” my daughter said. And, “I don’t really need much more stuff,” my son shrugged.
