CARROLL CREEK PARK FUNDING MOVES FORWARD

Frederick, Md. --- The City of Frederick is pleased to announce that on Wednesday, May 19th, the State of Maryland Board of Public Works (Gov. Robert Ehrlich, Comptroller Donald Schaefer and Treasure Kopp) approved the purchase requests for the Carroll Creek Park Project. These grant funds will pay for more than $737,000 in materials for the construction of the park improvements and for more than $731,000 in design costs. The City has already been reimbursed $109,000 in design costs earlier this year.

This grant allocation is part of the 1987 Carroll Creek grant, which had $1.5 million remaining. According to our state contact Paul Georgiou, all funds in this grant are fully encumbered at this time and we will now move forward to seek reimbursement as the funds are expended.

Mayor Dougherty would like to express thanks to all involved in this process including: Richard Griffin, Vincent Hughes, Jon Angel, John Leisenring, Chuck Ramsburg, Kandi Fullerton and Jim Twigg for their hard work on the project.
