Six firms are competing for a chance to develop and operate a composting and recycling facility at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in the latest round of contracting for the project known as Green Acres.
The firms that have thrown their hats into the ring are Cash Development LLC, Randolph & Company LLC, Columbia Technology LLC, Green Energy & Development Inc., Multiplex LLC and Sun State Organics LLC, according to the city of Atlanta's procurement department.
