Governor signals stance on Grove Stadium funding
Annapolis Governor William Donald Schaefer says he has not committed state money for Grove Stadium and will follow the guidance of Del. James E. McClellan. He warns Frederick County Commissioners against pressuring him for 1.2 million in overruns while weighing a plan to share costs with the city and state. The project, originally budgeted at 3 million, faces funding disputes as DEED indicated no further state money unless all parties agree. McClellan and Sen. Derr criticize commissioners for blocking funding. Schaefer pledges to rely on the delegation and McClellan’s recommendations while construction continues with a cement wall under Morgan-Keller. He notes surprise at Mayor Young’s defeat and vows closer contact with Frederick affairs.
