Union Bridge seeks to shrink growth boundary as wastewater limits constrain development

Union Bridge representatives told the Carroll County Planning Commission on Feb. 5 that a proposed amendment to the town's 2008 comprehensive plan would reconfigure — effectively shrink — the municipal growth-area boundary because the town lacks wastewater treatment capacity to support the earlier, larger growth expectations. Ned Huff, representing the town, said the amendment reflects updated population and infrastructure realities and would limit the growth area until the town secures adequate treatment capacity.
