Mayor Gene Leggett added, “It is very easy for a developer to make a proffer—say we have a four-inch pipeline going through there and he says hell pay to raise it to six inches and put in another pumping station, whatever is necessary, so that you open it up—it can be modified to meet greater demand, much easier than if it is not there at all.”
McCarthy said, “If a developer comes in and offers money for schools in exchange for access to sewer lines that’ll hold your taxes down. . . it becomes difficult to say no.”
He gave as examples Green County and Albemarle County “where they have been unable to resist the temptation of upgrading sewer lines to allow more development.
Tm not going to say, the Board of Supervisors has not taken any position against this option. . .but members (individually) have said they are deeply doubtful that it is in the county’s longterm interest,” said McCarthy.
