DONATE by AUGUST 27th For Our Donation BLITZ!

Dear CCLA Supporter,

As you know, CCLA continues to be strongly opposed to the Green Ridge landfill being built in Cumberland County. We are opposed due to environmental, well and ground water
contamination, property value and traffic issues. 

Over the last seven years, our efforts have been instrumental in slowing down this landfill coming to fruition. We intend to vigorously continue this fight. On July 28, 2025, four short- sighted Cumberland Board of Supervisors took a big step backward by voting to approve the Green Ridge Conditional Use Permit 24-01 and the Second Amended and Restated Host Agreement. This was done after the lawyers representing our County all agreed, the Board could walk away from the entire Green Ridge project started in 2018, just by voting NO.

We plan on appealing against this decision but there is a short time frame for doing so. The deadline is August 27, 2025, less than 15 days away. According to our legal team, there is legal merit in our appeal for many reasons to include the possibility that Cumberland’s representatives did not follow the proper and required processes before the vote.

This legal appeal requires legal research and associated attorney fees. CCLA supporters have contributed thousands of dollars and thousands of hours in this ongoing battle, and be assured your support has been greatly appreciated and effective in this endeavor.    

 Please help us to fund our legal costs and continue the fight. Our fund-raising group is currently holding a “blitz” to ask supporters for help. Visit our website (CCLAVA.com) to find a convenient way to contribute or call 804-308-5748 and leave a message.

Sincerely,

CCLA Leadership Team
