City may lease part of Transfer Station
McMGreenWEB
McMinnville Green owner John Hoch is working on plans to expand his recycling operation into the citys Transfer Station.
A business on Needmore Road is needing more room for expansion.McMinnville officials are considering a measure to lease a portion of its Transfer Station on Sunset Point Road to McMinnville Green, a small recycling company that accepts cardboard, paper, aluminum cans, ink jet and toner cartridges, and plastic bottles for an expansion.According to McMinnville Public Works assistant director Brad Hennessee, several discussions have been held with the business regarding recycling opportunities with the city and those talks have led to a request to lease part of the building.“One of the things that has come up is the possibility of them leasing the unused portion of the transfer station,” said Hennessee. “We are here tonight to get an up or down or gauge of interest in pursuing the matter. In meeting with them, we have hammered out some details the city would want and that McMinnville Green would want in the lease agreement.”Hennessee presented the information Tuesday night to members of the county Streets and Sanitation Committee.“One of the benefits for us is that it would minimize the expense of the Transfer Station on the city while allowing the city to still have access to the portion of the facility we currently use,” said Hennessee.
