At the January 6th meeting, Riverview City Council made a courageous and forward-thinking decision by unanimously voting (6 to 0, with Councilmember Pray excused) to bring an end to any further efforts to expand the landfill. This momentous action reflects the council’s commitment to a sustainable future and responsible management of the city’s resources. Rather than pursuing an increase in the landfill’s lifespan, the City will continue to operate the Land Preserve at its current permitted capacity, which is estimated to last for approximately 6 to 7 more years, depending on waste volume. Importantly, no additional capacity will be sought, signaling a clear and decisive step toward a more
environmentally mindful and long-term vision for Riverview. Mayor Swift, in his article in the Riverview Register, emphasized the significant

progress made by the City Manager and staff in preparing financially for the eventual closure of the Land Preserve. Plans are now focused on addressing the
residual costs of closure and post-closure maintenance, ensuring the city is wellequipped for what lies ahead. Looking to the future, the Council has established a dedicated committee to begin the process of determining the end use of the landfill site, turning this challenging transition into an opportunity for new development and innovation in Riverview. Volunteers are encouraged to apply and contribute their insights toward shaping the city’s next chapter. This decision reflects the steadfast leadership of Riverview’s City Council, making a difficult yet necessary choice to ensure the well-being of our community and environment for generations to come.
