Frederick's Historic District Commission approved most of the $3.2 million parking deck behind and beside the C. Burr Artz Library but rejected several design elements. Architects face a workshop on arches signs and landscaping while construction is slated to begin this summer. The panel also refused demolition of the Southern States Mill pending inspection and scheduled a workshop on that decision.

Free State seeks to haul outside trash, sort recyclables, and send debris to landfills, but the county voted to overturn prior rulings for nonconformity.
