Scenic Road From Hancock To Cumberland Plan Moves Forward
ANNAPOLIS Feb 3 Proponents of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Park concede a setback but propose a substitute scenic highway from Hancock to Cumberland. State would buy 4,100 acres and the federal government would spend 8 million on construction with NPS seeking federal funds next year. Senator Kimble backs the measure amid western Maryland support while Frederick and parts of DC and Montgomery oppose.
