There Goes That Hope

From what I've heard, at some point since the beginning of the month the Council realized that a couple thousand dollars is a bit less than $19 mil and paid the bill assessed by Blue Lake Township for the previous zoning work. While that obstruction has passed, there's still hope that the township, who has opposed the sale of any part of Owasippe for development, will refuse to rezone the property to the buyer's liking.

Of note to those haven't been following the camp drama the past few years is the fact that Owasippe is the township's largest single landowner. Despite Whitehall being nearby, the township is entirely rural, with very little infrastructure. Developing Owasippe would put tremendous strains on the land, and would most likely require extensive sewer and water work in order to support the number of houses that are likely to be put up. The township has a vested interest in keeping the area rural and avoiding being socked with the cost of developing further infrastructure.
