Program: Harnett County
Harnett County Manager, Scott Sauer
This week’s speaker was Harnett County Manager, Scott Sauer. Scott talked about the challenges facing Harnett County, and some of the solutions to those challenges. County budget, jobs and community growth were the some of the main subjects. Scott spoke about the new hospital building currently underway across the street from the Government Complex. This will help speak to growth, jobs and income to the county.
Scott also spoke at length, due in part to the many questions our members had for him, about the proposed landfill that is generating quite a bit of controversy. If the landfill proposal passes, it could take up to 3.5 years until the state gives its stamp of approval and preparations are made to use the landfill. Given the controversy and complaints over this subject, and all the paperwork that has to be passed through and approved, the landfill still only stands about a 20% chance of going through.
Mr. Sauer was very informative about all subjects discussed tonight, enlightening many of us on County growth, needs and solutions.
