State, county help fund trash firm's relocation
DOVER - Legislators approved $337,000 last month to help Eastern Shore Environmental Inc. move its waste transfer station away from Dover Air Force Base to a location near Farmington.
The state money is contained in the fiscal year 2006 capital budget, which took effect July 1.

"We have funded everything to move them," said Senate Minority Leader Sen. John C. Still III, R-Dover.
ESE won approval in December from Levy Court for a new transfer station and office on 20 acres at U.S. 13 and Nine Foot Road near Farmington.
Officials at the Dover base worried that ESE's facility would attract birds that could collide with plane engines and cause crashes.
ESE disputed that the facility would draw birds, but went along with the search for a new site.
A task force examining ways to improve the Dover base's standing with the military reported last year that moving ESE away from the installation should be a priority.
