Impact analysis
Project abandoned rather than funded at roughly double the ~$8 million estimate; ARPA spending deadlines complicated alternatives.
Assessment payers avoid bearing the cost of a drastically over-estimate project.
Madison Township residents along Route 20 who wanted the sewers will not get them.
