The 47 families that live along East Alston Road, five miles west of Pittsboro, are about to get a new neighbor--actually about 100 of them. Many of these families, most of them African American, live a few hundred feet from the old county landfill, which has been known to leak contamination into their drinking water. And in two years, these families will be living near the new Chatham County jail.
