Zoning discussions at Talbot County Council meetings can be tiresome at times, but they are nonetheless important ones to take notice of since land use changes can have major consequences for the community as a whole.
In their meeting on February 24, the Council took up the matter of resolution 218 that would allow Easton to annex 22 acres of land owned by Aphena Pharma Solutions into the town’s limits. The land, would allow APS the water supply needed in order to expand their enterprise.
The annexation would allow the packaging company of pharmaceutical, animal health, consumer health and medical device products to remain compliant with federal law that requires any company doing business in a chemically involved industry to begin their processes with potable water.
The Council heard from Easton town planner Lynn Thomas, County attorney Michael Pullen, and Town of Easton Attorney Sharon Van Emburgh before approving the change.
