    Jackson Township Board of Supervisors held a special meeting on February 20, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. at the Municipal Building to discuss a proposal by Mr. Aiken to establish a Waste Transfer Station at 105 McQuiston Drive in Jackson Center, where garbage from a newly obtained Hermitage, PA contract would be sorted from recycling materials, with garbage destined for a landfill in Lowellville, Ohio, and recyclables for a facility near Pittsburgh. Three supervisors attended—Chairman George H. McIntire (term expires 12/31/29), Gene Swartz (term expires 12/31/25), and Jerry S. Heckman via phone (term expires 12/31/27)—along with Solicitor Raymond Bogaty and Zoning Officer Sandy Bachman.
