An appeal scheduled to be made at the Cumberland County Circuit Court in response to the county’s decision to grant a rezoning request for the Green Ridge landfill is set for Monday, 10 a.m., at the Cumberland County Courthouse.

The approximately 1,200-acre property at the Cumberland/Powhatan County border was rezoned from Agricultural-2 (A-2) and Residential-2 (R-2) to Industrial (M-2) in a vote by the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors June 29.

The plaintiff in the case is listed in court documents as Hubbard Sprouse, a Cumberland resident.

The Monday case comes after two cases that have taken place in reference to the landfill over the summer. A case filing an injunction against the landfill and a case requesting a referendum occurred at the landfill July 30 and Aug. 7 respectively. Both cases had resident William “Bill” Bruce as the plaintiff.
