In a recent meeting, the Charles Town Utility Board (CTUB) discussed public feedback regarding the proposed Mountain Pure water bottling facility in Middleway, which is to be built at the former 3M factory site. Residents, including Mary Gee and Christine Wimer, voiced their concerns about the plant’s impact on local interests and the timing of the CTUB discussions, which precede a crucial planning commission meeting. The board, addressing these concerns, decided to delay renewing the Department of Health permit until more input from Middleway residents is gathered, emphasizing their commitment to local considerations.
