Placeholder Image
Area residents are opposing the proposed expansion of a private landfill and auto salvage operation off Monroe Drive near Athens Highway. A community meeting is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Trinity CME Church, 1059 Black Drive, Gainesville. On behalf of DOJI Properties LLC, Gainesville engineering firm Rochester & Associates Inc. is seeking to rezone the nearly 51-acre tract to create retail/office/industrial outparcels along U.S. 129 and Monroe Drive and to expand adjoining property that includes an auto salvage site and landfill.
