County Says No Extension Move Barred by Commissioners
Frederick County commissioners refused to allow the Extension Service to move from Winchester Hall. President Charles E. Collins planned a letter opposing the move, with Commissioner Russell Z. Horman in agreement. Commissioner Wallace E. Hutton later supported moving with other state and federal agencies, citing a Farm Bureau request to relocate together and noting potential benefits of shared area and services. The Extension Service seeks 3,000 square feet on East Street, raising annual rent by about 5,751 dollars. current space costs about 1.07 dollars per square foot. The move would place the agency with Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service and others, under a USDA–Maryland partnership.
