<br />Sherburne County
<br />Landfill Abatement Legacy Grant
<br />Application
<br />
<br />BACKGROUND
<br />As a continuation of a long standing policy to support actions which reduce our county's dependence on
<br />indiscriminate landfilling, the Sherbume County Board of Commissioners adopted the Landfill Abatement
<br />Legacy Grant Program. This program is structured to: encourage the use of "qualifying materials in the
<br />construction, and lor remodeling of municipal buildings; maximize the reuse of building materials and/or
<br />existing structure; and, divert construction and demolition waste from disposal in landfills.
<br />
<br />The County will grant to cities and townships in the County an amount equal to $100 per capita as
<br />reimbursement for meeting or exceeding the above stated criteria in the construction, and/or remodeling
<br />of city or township owned buildings.
