The idle Sunbeam Landfill property in Jacksonville, Fla., owned by Waste Management Inc. (NYSE: WMI), has officially been transferred to Brownfield Properties, LLC. The new owners of the 225-acre site plan to transform the land into an 18-hole golf course community. The next steps are for Sunbeam to receive brownfield designation from the city of Jacksonville and permit modification from the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation. Once designation and permitting is complete, Sunbeam golf plans comprise an 18-hole course and residential areas, the first such reclamation of a landfill in the Jacksonville area.
