County may help with shelter construction in Frederick
Frederick County officials weigh a 300000 dollar county contribution to the city to back a State loan for an 800000 dollar homeless shelter behind the Frederick Community Center. The city board unanimously approved borrowing up to 314000 dollars to begin building by spring with completion about seven months later. The plan relies mainly on a Community Development Block Grant and a low interest State loan with no construction interest, while county participation may influence grant approvals and raise questions about long term guarantees.
