City Gains From Gas Tax Redistribution Boosts Funds For Streets
City officials announced that Maryland gas tax funds for the year ending June 30 will significantly raise Frederick’s street budget. The new formula removes prior fixed sums and allows flexible spending on streets without Roads Commission approval. Quarterly allocations flow to the City Register for resurfacing and related work, with projects already planned on Sherman Avenue and West Patrick Street, the latter tied to a resurfacing contract held by T. B. Gateh.
