GE Sues Frederick County for Building Permit to Build Kernstown Plant
General Electric filed suit in the State Supreme Court against the Frederick Board of Supervisors and the county building inspector Blair Webber. GE seeks a writ of mandamus to compel issuance of a building permit for a $7 million Kernstown plant, aiming to award the construction contract and start manufacturing light bulbs by January 1, 1974, with a permit application dated February 13 attached. The company alleges the inspector declined to issue the permit pending board approval, though GE contends board approval is not legally required and that the board has tabled the request awaiting water and sewer decisions from local authorities.
