City urged to seek aid after IRB denial
Frederick Mayor Ronald N. Young said the Francis Scott Key American Legion Post will likely ask Frederick city officials for help after Frederick County Commissioners rejected the Legion's Industrial Revenue Bond request by a 3-2 vote. The county said IRBs must benefit industry and the county economy. The city and county have a working agreement to back each other’s projects. Young criticized the county for not following through on promises and said the Legion's request will be considered, possibly this summer. Construction on the Black Horse Tavern may start in about three weeks as details are resolved.

Water deemed safe despite odor in Frederick city
Mayor Ronald N. Young said Frederick water remains safe to drink and has been treated despite a smell and taste. He noted the issue occurs annually when Lake Linganore fountains operate, though Linganore Dam sources about 40 percent of city water and other supplies include Monocacy River, Fishing Creek, and Tuscarora. The fountains allegedly stir stagnant water, prompting the odor.
