Union County residents fighting against a potential wastewater treatment

Union County commissioners are considering rezoning an area of land off Ridge Road.

The Union County board of commissioners said the current wastewater plant will age out very soon, and they wanted to have an open and transparent discussion with the community.

The area that's being considered for rezoning is off Ridge road, and some residents came out to address many concerns.

Some neighbors also addressed concerns about loud noise and awful smells saying they don’t want a sewage treatment plant in their own backyard.

Officials said they say they’re not expecting bad odors to be a major issue, with their current wastewater treatment plants receiving limited complaints over the years.
