Plans to build a solid waste transfer station in southwest Lubbock are moving forward as the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission recommended a zoning change for the facility in a split vote. The commission voted 6-3 to support the change from low density, single-family zoning to industrial park zoning on about 70 acres of municipally owned land near Marsha Sharp Freeway and Alcove Avenue, just east of the Wolfforth city limits. The City of Lubbock purchased the land in August last year as part of a plan to improve the city’s trash service by building a transfer station there.
