County to raise impact fee to speed school building
Frederick County plans a 50 percent rise in single family home impact fees from 2000 to 3000 this year. Five commissioners signaled support to use the extra revenue to back $15 million bond notes in each of fiscal 1999 and 2000 to accelerate school construction. Budgeting officials project a 5 percent drop in four-year average impact fee activity, yet say debt service remains covered. A reserve fund equal to about two years of debt service would be created to cushion potential revenue disruption, with reserve balance surpassing one year by fiscal 2001.

Fort Detrick officials say no 30 acre site on base fits due to expansions from Fort Ritchie closures and existing base needs. FAA had promoted Frederick as a potential site but now cannot proceed.
