Ward attacks Ballenger land purchase at county meeting
Theodore Ward of Sjamsville, a retired federal employee and two time Republican primary candidate, blasts the Ballenger area land buy as an expensive, well oiled deal that defies the county master growth plan. He accuses officials of replacing conservation land value with a high price and hints at future rezonings tied to a planned sewer plant and floodplain development. Remsberg defends the price as fair and says zoning changes will follow development. Residents raise floodplain and jail proximity concerns, while county actions include water system funding for Point of Rocks and bridge repairs.
