Senior living planned on Moser property near Thurmont
Frederick County commissioners approved a plan to annex 43 acres of Moser Family Farms land for a senior living community near Thurmont and to annex 142 acres of open space so the development can be served by town water and sewer. Attorney Kristen McGowan said the plan contemplates phased growth at about 20 units per year, with a proposed cap of 120 units, though zoning could permit up to 282 units. The project faces a mismatch with the county comprehensive plan, but a waiver is sought for certain requirements.
