Carroll commissioners approve pact to join Frederick in $500M incinerator project
By Charles Schelle cschelle@patuxent.com
Carroll’s Board of County Commissioners will move forward with plans to join Frederick County in building the first waste-to-energy trash incinerator in the United States in more than 13 years.
Commissioners Dean Minnich and Michael Zimmer voted on Thursday to approve a resolution that accepts Frederick County’s invitation to build a joint, 1,500-ton-per-day capacity waste-to-energy trash incinerator at the Ballenger Creek/McKinney Industrial Center, which is located beside the Monocacy River and Monocacy National Battlefield in Frederick.
Commission President Julia Gouge, who in the past had talked favorably about composting as an alternative to an incinerator, was absent for the vote.
Carroll County would pay 40 percent of the cost of the estimated $501 million incinerator — or about $200 million — while Frederick County would pay 60 percent.
