Dear Mr. Nuse:
FRANKIE LIMMER
WILLIAMSON COUNTY
COMMISSIONER PCT #4
October 13, 2003
Williamson County is planning to apply for a Capital Area Planning Council
(CAPCO) Solid Waste Grant in this round of funding. The plan is to apply for a
regional recycling facility for the benefit of Williamson County residents. The site
selected is at the Williamson County Landfill. The first phase of the grant will be
funding for preparation of the site, a building and the start up of the facility. The
facility will begin by recycling paper, cardboard, scrap metal, glass and plastic.
Williamson County hopes to increase the facility the following grant cycle to
include household hazardous waste (paint, chemicals & pesticides)
Williamson County will pledge the site and the management for the facility as its
matching contribution. The City of Hutto has pledged the services of a grant
writer as its matching contribution.
This is an exciting and long awaited plan. I am asking the City of Round Rock
Commissioners for their help first by passing a resolution of support for the
recycling center. Second, matching funds always show support and I hope
would be considered.
Sincerely,
Frankie Limmer
County Commissioner
