Frederick Mayor weighs compromise over old post office demolition
Frederick Mayor Ronald N. Young said he is considering a compromise with federal officials on the East Patrick Street post office, proposing a limited extension to secure a bidder and possibly sell or renovate the building. He urges a 60 day option plus 30 more to evaluate purchasing and financing while the city weighs options to buy and resell if needed. The Frederick County Chamber of Commerce has urged demolition to provide parking, while Young accuses the Postal Service of not pursuing reputable bids and seeks an extended timeline before any demolition.
