Campground Plan To Expand Approved

SNOW HILL – Fort Whaley will be able to expand following approval of an amendment to the county’s water and sewerage plan.

On Tuesday, the Worcester County Commissioners unanimously approved an amendment that will allow Fort Whaley to add more than 60 new campsites, although not before voicing concerns. While Commissioner Ted Elder questioned the burgeoning number of campsites in the north end of the county, Commissioner Joe Mitrecic brought up the issue of a special event that has been based at the Route 50 campground in recent years.

“This is the headquarters of one of the biggest public safety issues that comes to this county every year, the H20i convention,” Mitrecic said, pointing out that the expansion would provide more space for event participants. “I support the issue but I would like operators of the campground to look into ways to curb that activity.”

H2O - one of the biggest public safety issues? It is not my favorite weekend of the year, but for heavens sake, do not bite the hands that feeds you! Curb the activity? Based on these statements alone, if I were in charge of the H2O, I would be looking elsewhere.



Good for Ft Whaley, perhaps a water park next?

We wish and hope h20 leaves this area. Hate their event with loud mufflers and poor manners. Good riddance.

Come on H2O brings in what is lacking on the eastern shore. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

If you dislike $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ get your head examined. Why? HUGE changes over the next 4 years with TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP. Common Sense thinking is on the horizon which will trickle down to state and local gov'ts.

SOOOOOOOOOOOO if noise and a little mess is to your disliking - better damn sight embrace the MONEY cause if it doesn't come in, harder times will be on the horizon.

THINK BUSINESS from now on...don't think ME ME ME ME or you will be left behind!
