County rejects loan to save Catoctin Zoo project
Frederick County Commissioners declined a $25,000 loan request from the Catoctin Mountain Zoological Society to avert collapse. Society leader Melvin Danner failed to secure support at a work session. Landlord Richard Hahn seeks eviction by February 25 and nonrenewal of the lease at June 30, prompting prospects of a new lessee and a “Save the Zoo” fund at Farmers & Mechanics National Bank to cover payroll and bills. Commissioner David Gray proposed a county land grant or loan with repayment guarantees.
