For Immediate Release: Thursday 13 June
I am terribly saddened by the tragic accident that took the life of Gladis Loren Melendrez Fuentes. She was a contractor who worked at the Shady Grove Transfer Station. My deepest condolences go out to her family, friends, and colleagues. This is a very difficult day. We made grief counselors available for station staff and others. The Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection is a part of a big family of County workers, and we are all affected by this tragic loss.
