The Cayuga County Legislature has formally opposed the proposed expansion of Seneca Meadows Landfill, citing regional health and environmental concerns, and has requested to be named an interested party in the review process.
The resolution, noted at the recent Seneca Falls town board meeting, objects to a 70-foot height increase, 47 additional acres, and an extension of the landfill’s operation through 2040. Cayuga officials are also pushing for greater public involvement.
In other business, the board reviewed updates on two downtown beautification projects, approved a $5,000 cemetery fund transfer, and discussed a new experimental organic waste drop-off site at the landfill.
