SUCCESS — Property owners in the unincorporated place of Success want the Androscoggin Valley Regional Refuse Disposal District to make both a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes and a host fee to Success for the Mt. Carberry Landfill.
All of the property owners but one signed a petition asking the Coos County Commission to negotiate with the solid waste district for a PILOT and host fee. The petition with 145 signatures was originally presented to the commission in March 2019. This past June, property owners revisited the issue with the commission.
