Comments on: Cecil County Extension of Sewers in Elkton West Could Cost $62 Million https://ceciltimes.com/2011/10/cecil-county-extension-of-sewers-in-elkton-west-could-cost-62-million/ News and Views for Cecil County and the Eastern Shore of Maryland Fri, 25 Nov 2022 14:21:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: Al Reasin https://ceciltimes.com/2011/10/cecil-county-extension-of-sewers-in-elkton-west-could-cost-62-million/#comment-3231 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 04:50:30 +0000 https://ceciltimes.com/?p=1744#comment-3231 Mr. Flanigan, as usual, did an outstanding job in explaining to the commissioners that the county did have a backup plan with as much detail as was now possible; as noted, the plan was from 2007 and needs updating.

I asked him later about the impact of PlanMD. He believes that since it is not yet finalized, its impact cannot be determined now. I do realize as a former manager that he can’t wait for every possible glitch to develop before he begins to plan. My concern is that the updated 2007 plan’s expansion in Elkton West must be factored into the WIP planning and PlanMD will impact it. Elkton West is not part of PlanMD’s growth area even though it is in the county’s comprehensive plan.

One wonders if PlanMD will throw a monkey wrench into any capital improvement plan the county’s staff proposes for Elkton West.

Sadly, this did not conform to the 3 Amigo anti-growth agenda. Despite Commissioner Broomell’s pathetic attempts to blame Artesian for the collapse, she clearly caused their withdrawal. We will see if she supports Mr. Flanigan’s plan, given her no growth bias.

I think that Artesian is “treading water” until the upcoming election results are in to see if reasonable people are in the majority. They can then request that the sale proceed with adjustments in the numbers.
