The Lakeside/Trappe East residential and commercial project on the northeast side of Trappe was billed as a way to save the financially struggling town, The Washington Post reported Monday afternoon.
But some opponents fear the 2,501-home development, which could quintuple the town’s population, will change Talbot County’s rural character and caution that its wastewater treatment system could cause environmental problems.
Robert Thomas says
2500 more homes in Trappe mean at least 5000 people, which will create a lot more problems such as crime. How many more police officers are we going to need and who are going to pay for them? I for one certainly hope the town council of Trappe and the Talbot County council realize how many problems they are going to create for this rural area.
Grenville B. Whitman says
What were the Talbot County commissioners hoping for when they approved this monstrous residential development in the middle of historic farmland, countryside, and watershed?
They can change their minds … perhaps they will!
