Stone Cranberry Corp currently owns the parcel and has a sand and gravel operation on the site. Bob Tinkham, health agent for the town, tells GlobeSt.com that NE Waste Services will create deed restrictions on the remaining 130 acres that they would be left as open space if the landfill goes through. The company has also guaranteed the town $1 million a year for twenty years if it gets its permits.
Tinkham says that the town has not yet taken an official position on the proposal but he notes, "Obviously people here aren't for it." The land is currently site-assigned for a landfill but Tinkham says that it is land that could be potentially developed. But, he adds, "the property is for sale and this is who wants to buy it."
