Crooked Run West presents their case to Board of Supervisors
At the June 13th Warren County Board of Supervisors work session, principals of Crooked Run West, LLC presented their case to rezone from commercial to a mixed used but primarily residential project.
The bottom line appears to be if the Town of Front Royal will supply the necessary water and sewer for their project. Crooked Run West LLC principal Ed Murphy seemed sure that the Town would do so. The Royal Examiner has obtained the agreements the Town has with the County on supplying water and sewer to this area and it appears that they will allow only commercial development. More on this next week.
The Royal Examiner’s camera was there and captured the full work session presentation, discussion and questions, as well as some of the post-work session discussion between the public and Crooked Run West officials.
After the meeting there was some discussions with the developers:
