No to tax exempt bonds for legion home in Frederick
The Frederick County ECDC rejects recommending approval of tax exempt industrial revenue bonds for Francis Scott Key Post 21 to finance a new legion home in North Frederick. IRS scrutiny and congressional concern weigh against expanding IRBs to tax exempt nonprofit groups, though support for the post remains strong locally. The Legion plans to relocate from its current site to Taney Avenue with county time to complete financing and construction.
