TO THE EDITOR:
Congratulations to the Rogers Road community on the decision to close the area landfill.
I know Robert Campbell and many other local residents have worked tirelessly to close the landfill and improve their community for many years now.
With this decision, community leaders can now focus on finding a solution to the county’s waste management problems that does not have such a negative impact on the environment and living conditions of local communities.
Although this is a major accomplishment in their fight, there is still much work to be done to ensure that all residents of Orange County have a safe and enjoyable environment in which to live. I wish the Rogers Road community the best of luck and encourage all Chapel Hill students to join in their efforts to preserve their community.
