For the past several months, fears have hovered over one community in southeast Lorain County, after a company known for its use of biosolids bought nearly 150 acres last June.

Signs have started appearing in front of homes near Law Road and State Route 83 in Grafton Township, urging"NO BioSolids in Grafton."

"In my mind, it’s a landfill," neighbor Matt Harlan said."They will bring in large quantities of sludge and they will dig trenches and pour tons and tons of this into the ground and bury it and put trees on top. For me, that feels like a landfill." In a phone conversation, Grafton Township leaders pointed out to News 5 that no formal plans have come across their desk when it comes to what Grow Now LLC wants to do with the land.

News 5 contacted Quasar about the land and spoke at length with its president, Mel Kurtz, who emphasized that plans have not been finalized or fully decided as to what will happen at the property.
