Wastewater from Highway Could Mean Higher County Taxes
By DORIE SOUTHERN
Cape Charles Wave
March 7, 2013
Cape Charles wants more sewage for its new treatment plant, and if the Public Service Authority gets its way, County taxpayers will contribute.
PSA Chairman Bob Panek told Northampton County Board of Supervisors January 8 that a 1-cent real estate tax increase could help fund sewer infrastructure for commercial properties on Highway 13.
Panek proposes that the Board approve a sewer line from Highway 13 to the new Cape Charles treatment plant.
Additional funding would come from “private capital contributions from the business owners,” Panek told Cape Charles Town Council February 21.
Panek is also Assistant Town Manger for Cape Charles. Reached at Town Hall by the Wave, he was not willing to discuss non-Town business.
Funding could be arranged through a “moral obligation bond,” Panek told the Board of Supervisors. He said that the PSA could arrange primary funding through government bonds.
But local funding is required for debt service on the bonds. There could be a special tax district, a county-wide property tax increase, or connection and availability fees, or a combination of all three. [Read more…]

LETTER:
Group Seeks to Preserve Cape Charles Colored School

March 6, 2013
DEAR EDITOR,
There are no front yard signs in support of “the other Old School Cape Charles.” However, there is definitely an effort gaining momentum to preserve the history of another Cape Charles former public school building.
This movement has been characterized not by spirited debate and public hearings, but by the same quiet dignity and determination that led to the creation in 1928 of the Cape Charles Colored School.
The school is situated just over the hump from the Historic District to the Bay Creek golf community. It is an unassuming red brick building. Spray paint evidences its brief history as an eel processing plant. The modest structure belies the storied and important history of the school. [Read more…]
