Artesian Resources' expansion into Maryland is picking up steam, as the Cecil County Board of Commissioners prepares to vote on transferring many of its water and wastewater facilities and service areas to the Delaware-based utility. Artesian, based in Newark, is primed to take advantage of the expected significant growth that county has envisioned in its long-term plan.

The annexation issue was a microcosm of what is both wrong and right with any discussion of so-called “growth” in this county.
