Supervisors Approve McCourtney Road Transfer Station Improvement Project

On Tuesday, February 7th, the Nevada County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved and awarded the McCourtney Road Transfer Station (MRTS) Improvement Project to Bobo Construction. This project will repurpose the existing transfer station’s footprint to accommodate the increased traffic and demand for recycling and solid waste services and allow for the current State mandate for organic food waste collection and diversion.

Construction is planned from Spring 2023 through Fall 2024.

“A lot of hard work has been done to get us to this point, and we are very excited to see this project begin this Spring,” said Board of Supervisors Chair Ed Scofield. “Anyone who has visited the transfer station during peak periods is familiar with the long lines and wait times, but the cost of the project has come out much better than we anticipated and will help solve the wait issues.”
