Givet: the incinerator project begins to falter!


before yesterday, the proposed construction of an incinerator on Pacog to Givet experienced a rebound , not lower, since Standing Committee of the Regional Council has decided to cancel a grant of 30,000 euros it had originally planned to pay the LLC Paperpower to help fund a feasibility study! This decision, IN ADDITION taken unanimously with the exception of the abstention of three elected National Front, was motivated by not supply the company of a number of documents relating inter alia to the origin and content of the waste, which were requested since 2007.

Slowly but surely, the light is being done on this issue! This is not the time to lower the guard, on the contrary, especially as Community Commons has confirmed its support for the project by deciding at its board held on December 30 last, to acquire for more than 50,000 euros a 80,000 m2 plot in order to establish greenhouses designed to enhance the heat it generated hopes soon ...
