# Gloucester County Board of Supervisors Meeting, 10/6/2026

At the October 6, 2026 Gloucester County Board of Supervisors meeting, the board approved an appropriation of $500,000 from the development fund for design work on the Route 17 bypass force main and million-gallon water storage project. Public Utilities reported progress on multiple capital projects, including plans to bid the Gloucester Street/Clemens Avenue work after correcting bid documents, and anticipated bidding the Main Street water-line project in January. The county administrator also reported that 40 capital improvement proposals had been submitted for planning commission review; no awards were made. The board supported developing a scope of work for an updated utilities asset management plan, with competitive procurement discussed and possible funding through a midyear budget amendment; the matter is expected to return for discussion at a future meeting.

The board discussed Waste Management’s use of Garta World to operate four of the county’s five convenience centers. Staff said the county’s contract remains with Waste Management, which stated it would provide backup staffing if needed; supervisors raised questions about contract oversight, environmental financial assurances, and whether future contract amendments should address facility capacity and cleanup obligations. No related contract action was taken. The board also approved a conditional use permit for a mobile food vendor court and adopted several zoning-code amendments, but these were land-use actions rather than procurement decisions.
