Commissioners weigh ribbon cutting

COLFAX — County commissioners will decide whether to hold a ribbon-cutting for the newly expanded moderate waste recycling building at the county landfill south of the city.

The tentative date would be March 9.

County Public Works Director Mark Storey said he could go either way.

“It would be kind of fun to stand at a large distance, with caution tape all over and cut a ribbon,” Commissioner Art Swannack added. “I don’t mind a little pomp and circumstance,” Commissioner Tom Handy said. “Things are pretty bleak everywhere else.”

A decision was delayed to check what may be allowed under governor-ordered coronavirus restrictions.

The more than $1 million project added an estimated 2,000 square feet to the building.
