Frayser landfill nixed to applause, but owners not ditching expansion effort
Carol Williamson speaks during a community meeting July 24 where the owners, Carol and her husband Steve Williamson, of a local landfill met with residents in Frayser about their desire to expand the landfill and draft a community-benefits agreement. (Brad Vest/Special to The Daily Memphian)
The Land Use Control Board sided with a recommendation to reject the landfill’s expansion in Frayser, a relief for the advocates who opposed it. But the landfill’s owners will now seek approval from the City Council.
