Williamsburg County residents are invited to attend a public forum Thursday night to talk about a proposed landfill.
That landfill is proposed to go up near the small community of Nesmith.
Many residents there, though, say they don’t want such a development in their neck of the woods.
That’s because they fear it could affect their way of life.
“We think it’s going to ruin our community and our environment. It’s going to really destroy the value of our property. We just think that, you know, we need to back up and look at this thing,” said Tommy Stuckey, a local resident.
The meeting is set to begin at 6 p.m. Thursday at Nesmith Baptist Church.
