The Carroll County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to expand the convenience center on Dyer Road in an effort to alleviate traffic congestion, improve trash control and beautify the the surrounding area.
The expansion comes in the form of a .91 acre tract of vacant property located just northeast of Dyer Road located on State Route 61.
With the acquisition of the new property, the entire complex will be moved further back from the road and surrounded with an eight-foot-high picket fence, reducing noise and putting trash and recycling receptacles out of sight from nearby roads. Plans also call for the front of the complex to be landscaped, which will further reduce the visual impact of the center.
In its new configuration, Dyer Road will continue to host a full recycling center that will be located at the back of the complex as part of Carroll County's continued effort to provide its citizens with environmentally friendly ways to dispose of their discarded items.
"The reorganization of the convenience center on Dyer Road will improve accessibility, decrease traffic congestion and beautify the area," said John Peyton Boan, communications coordinator with Carroll County. "It's a win-win both for the citizens who make use of the center and those who live in the surrounding area."
