Frederick faces floodplain clashes over Court Street parking floodproofing
Mayor Ronald N. Young and Frederick officials clash with the Water Resources Administration over permits for floodplain construction along Carroll Creek. Since 1977 WRA has issued twenty permits requiring floodproofing, with Young seeking to add commercial space to the Court Street parking structure. Officials warn floodproofing doors and windows, involving added security, is essential, sparking a policy dispute after a 1976 flood and ongoing development in a narrow downtown floodplain.
