After the Middlesex County School Board (MCSB) conducted a public hearing Monday on a proposal to sell .0564 acre of land to Hampton Roads Sanitation Department (HRSD) for the proposed Locust Hill (sewage) Pump Out Station, the school board tabled action until lawyers have finished the deed process.

Middlesex County Public Schools superintendent Dr. Tracy Seitz informed the board that the only thing holding up the deed process was “finalization of the wording” in the deed.

The only person to speak at the hearing was Evelyn Beaumont of the Jamaica District. She asked the question whether or not there is any possibility of sewage leaking from the facility and having a negative impact on children at St. Clare Walker Middle School (SCW) that is located next door to the site.
