Maryland Benefits in Reagan Omnibus Funding Bill
The $600 billion Continuing Resolution signed by President Reagan directs millions to Maryland. Highlights include $16.5 million for Fort Ritchie upgrades and $21.7 million for Andrews AFB projects, $14.2 million for Baltimore Washington Parkway, $180.5 million for Washington area Metrorail, and $825 million for poultry disease research with $2.7 million for avian flu studies. The measure also expands Catoctin Park maintenance, funds canal rewatering studies, and bans Empress II testing in Chesapeake Bay. Maryland lawmakers Mikulski and Hoyer tout the package as advancing state transportation, environmental, and defense needs.
