Rec group opposes supervising pond in Frederick County
The Frederick County Parks and Recreation Commission moved to oppose allowing the county parks and recreation department to supervise a stormwater management pond. Karl Noyes led a unanimous advisory board vote and warned the land’s value and maintenance costs, calling the decision a dangerous trend and a quick fix with health and liability implications. The panel also proposed reallocating 15,000 from Fountaindale Park design to park security funds, while Middletown Park development plans were reassessed amid DPW updates.
