Developers Offer City Four Hundred Twenty Five Thousand For Sewer Work
Local attorney Richard Zimmerman for western Frederick developers proposes paying the city about 425000 in cash in exchange for advertising and letting contract for section four of the sewer project from Culler Lake to Rock and Carroll Creeks and from West Patrick Street to College Avenue. He estimates 50 percent of the final cost would be paid by landowners and developers, with federal grants and bond issues funding the rest, noting likely grants would not resume before mid 1974 and full completion could slip to late 1976. Names listed include David Weinberg John Warfield Montgomery Development Corporation North American Investment and Development Corporation Leo Seligson and Julian Seidel, covering over 5000 potential residential units.
