County seeks state loan for school construction plan rejected
County Commissioners unanimously approved applying for a 365000 state loan for fiscal 1971 school construction and tentatively rejected a Parks and Recreation Commission plan to match 218310 in open space funds for park land. They favored using open space funds for landfill purchases later usable as park land and backed a 39500 BOA matching request with no detailed item review. The board deferred Rose Hill Manor funding until a master plan is created, and tentatively set health department funding at the minimum state share of 333000.
