Hood College farm tax exemption continued under review
County Commissioners favored continued tax exemption for Hood College farm arguing the 110 acres north of West Seventh Street are needed for future expansion. The land includes a rideing ring and a rented dairy barn. College officials noted revenue scarcely covers upkeep and that a dormitory could rise within five years. If state officials object, the case could go to the Maryland Tax Court.
