Thompson pressures city over waterline to avoid suit
Frederick County Commissioner John L. Thompson Jr attempted to delay the Homewood Retirement Community completion by pressing city officials to promise no lawsuit over the Monocacy Boulevard extension. Morgan-Keller Inc pledged to extend a waterline along county property, while the city withholds occupancy until water service is secured.
