County seeks state funds for school in East Frederick
Frederick County asks the state to cover about a third of a $6.5 million East Frederick Elementary School project. The new site at Spring Ridge will replace the 1350 E. Patrick St. location, with 20 acres donated by developers. Enrollment would be 670 to 800, up from about 420. The county appeals a decision to reallocate renovation funds and seeks a final ruling from the Board of Public Works.
