Frederick County Qualifies For 140000 Federal Road Aid
Frederick County has qualified for 140000 dollars in federal aid for two road projects Park Mills Road and Ges House Pike. The funds cover half the cost of grading draining and paving with 60 day disbursement via the State Roads Commission under a new direct state aid system. The change cuts processing to 20 to 30 days and shifts project inspection to the local district engineer Thomas G Mohler, simplifying the federal aid flow from three parties to two.
