County considers tax trade for new elderly housing plan
Frederick County commissioners weighed a plan to build 24 housing units on Yellow Springs Road near Fort Detrick. The project by Castle Development would include a Farmers and Mechanics Bank branch and townhouses. Sixteen studio units would rent for about 229 to 280 dollars monthly, while eight one bedroom units would rent around 365 to 380 dollars. The plan could save at least 24 low income elderly residents but would require up to 125 thousand dollars in waived real estate taxes.

The state would contribute 46 percent of the project cost about 1.26 million dollars, with county and Frederick required to fund the remainder. Two options were shown to the commissioners, including waiving 49.3 percent of real estate taxes totaling 2,705 dollars for the first year for the city and 1,730 dollars for the county. A two year tax waiver commitment would be needed from all jurisdictions.
