About this project
Blantyre LLC proposes a residential community on about 182 acres along Big Road and Colonial Road in Upper Frederick Township, with 278 homes: 58 detached single-family houses and 220 attached stacked townhouses. The plan also includes a wastewater treatment plant the township would own and operate, which would replace the existing Frederick Mennonite Community plant. The county notes that a historic log home on the site is not addressed in the plans.
