After talking with Higgins, Vasi aims a public discussion with Amherst and county officials about the Amherst Township sewer line. Higgins believes the Amherst plant can handle initial flow but requires county residents to fund future upgrades as development grows, and he seeks an offset agreement for any expansion.
