The center, on South Market Street, connected 90 organizations with volunteers but faced workload and funding gaps. The association will help find a new home for the program and pass the baton to interested groups.

Frederick County gains clerical pay change as new laws take effect
Laws passed by the Maryland General Assembly will take effect July 1. One provision repeals old rules about the Frederick County treasurer’s office allowing a clerk to be paid 1200 dollars yearly. The change is clerical with no practical impact on office operations. Other measures authorize property tax credits for lease deals with the county Board of Education and extend a dairy task force. Some laws apply statewide, including coverage for two days hospital care after birth if requested, while many county specific laws require local approval and come into effect October 1.
