OAKLAND — The Garrett County commissioners have agreed to set up a meeting as soon as possible with D.C. Development, the former owner of Wisp Resort, and EPT Ski Properties, current owner, to discuss ownership of Wisp Mountain Road and Overlook Pass.

The roads will be abandoned once D.C. Development bankruptcy proceedings are complete. Klaus Schmidt, a board member of Kendall Camp Property Owner’s Association, asked the county to take over ownership of the roads and asked that the association be given a seat at the meeting.

County commission chairman Robert Gatto indicated that he would bring up the issue before the county’s Traffic Advisory Committee.

“We will work to expedite a response and to facilitate a resolution,” said Commissioner Gregan Crawford.
