To be built next to the Mud Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant The location for this plant would be near the intersection of Highway 94 and Perimeter Road, and would only be about 1.5 miles away from three elementary schools, seven churches, a retirement community, plus a number of neighborhoods! A proposal for a controversial 40-megawatt biomass power incinerator for Valdosta, Georgia may be canceled after developer Wiregrass Power missed a deadline for construction laid out by the Industrial Authority, according to an "Economic Development Agreement."
