Frontier Town appeals county EDU decision

The 4-3 decision of the Worcester County Commissioners in December to adhere to a plan prioritizing certain kinds of sewer capacity over others has been appealed to Worcester Circuit Court.

At issue are 71 equivalent dwelling units of sewer capacity Frontier Town attempted to buy to facilitate a campground expansion.

The move to expand was a copy of what Sun Communities did at the Castaways campsite it purchased in 2014, Hugh Cropper, attorney, said. Cropper said at Castaways, Sun Communities purchased the property, moved the campground from septic to public services, and then expanded the campground onto the drain field.

“It worked so well they decided to buy Frontier Town and do the same thing,” he said.

If it had proceeded the way Sun Communities had planned it, Cropper said during the peak season, about 90,000 gallons per day of wastewater would be removed from the watershed and be managed by public services instead.
