The council's 7-2 vote turned down a proposal to sell to Casella a 2-acre parcel of land, for landfill development that's within the existing landfill footprint, in exchange for $2 million in royalty fees through 2022, and $3.6 million from Casella for construction of a sewer pipe and leachate treatment plant and pump station. "I am always open to a good deal for Southbridge, something we have never gotten from Casella," said Councilman Albert D. Vecchia Jr., one of the dissenters when reached after the meeting last week.
