WastAway gives hope amid difficult times
We can’t give enough praise to Floyd Bouldin and everyone who has worked to make the upcoming WastAway facility a reality.
The financial projections and economic impact of WastAway on the Warren County economy could be astronomical. And Bouldin could very well be the next Bill Gates once this project reaches full throttle.
We all generate garbage. That goes for Warren County residents, Tennessee residents, and even residents in faraway Hong Kong. That’s why the revolutionary process of turning trash into a building material is nothing less than a stroke of genius.
There will never be a shortage of garbage and landfills across the country are currently struggling to keep pace with this growing problem. WastAway actually puts garbage to good use. Now regular trash can be made into a board, which can in turn be made into a house.
It’s not unrealistic to say every county in every state could ultimately benefit from WastAway. And when the process begins to spread, it will be the local work force which reaps the benefits.
Bouldin has already said he plans to outsource all possible work to local companies which will provide them with more business. And WastAway itself is projected to have a work force of some 300 employees just four years from now.
During this time of a less-than-robust economy, WastAway is a welcome sign. Warren County hasn’t enjoyed much luck recruiting new industry into this county so any new jobs are embraced with open arms.
WastAway will be a tremendous asset locally and it could eventually have a global impact. And it’s happening right here in our own backyard.
