County warns lenders typically avoid landfill‑built infrastructure; respondents should state site needs
Summary
County staff said lenders generally will not finance new infrastructure built on active landfill property because of environmental risk; respondents should specify acreage, utilities and other site needs in their RFEI submission so the county can evaluate alternative locations or regional partnerships.
When asked whether new infrastructure could be financed on landfill property, staff said lenders typically will not accept the environmental risk of building on landfill sites. A county staffer told attendees they should include site specifications in RFEI submissions (acreage, utilities, expected inbound tonnage and proximity to highways) so county staff can explore feasible locations or regional partners if a concept is viable.
Staff noted the I‑95 Landfill Complex encompasses roughly 400 acres, but there is no specifically designated area set aside for new projects; project proponents should describe the acreage and resource needs their concept requires and the county will assess feasibility during reviews.
