Water and sewer plan urged to avert Winchester lot shortage
Frederick County and Winchester must push a regional water and sewer project to avert a looming shortage of building lots around Winchester. Developer James R. Wilkins urged the board after a rejected 76‑lot Green Acres proposal due to odor from the current plant and lack of recreation space. The board approved the revised plat and other lots as interim measures move toward a regional facility with $1.6 million in federal support, now signed by the Sanitation Authority.
