Alert: Victory for Bryan County and the Ogeechee River! 

DateTuesday, December 13, 2011 at 9:52AM

 Citizens Declare a VICTORY 

The Bryan County Commissioners voted unanimously to deny the Atlantic Waste request to change the county ordinance to allow their landfill to be built.  Don Stack, from Stack and Associates and Mike Vaquer from The Vaquer Firm argued against the ordinance change.  Ogeechee Riverkeeper helped the citizens organize against the Atlantic Waste Landfill proposal.  ORK would like to applaud Bryan County citizens for standing up for clean water and a healthy environment for their families. 

We might hear more from Atlantic Waste in the future but for now, we appreciate the commissioners listening to their constituents.
