Grimes says Frederick city gains from acquisitions, stays in black
Mayor James Grimes and officials assert recent acquisitions and control changes in Frederick city strengthen finances. A $31 million 1994 95 budget yielded a $700,000 surplus, with $2.5 million cushion and a $29 million investment package. Purchases include Seventh-day Adventist Church property for 4.45 million and Fountain Medical Center for 250,000, plus an offer of 725,000 for Carmack Jays Supermarket. Bond upgrades enabled borrowing under 6 percent. Settlement on the Adventist property is planned mid year, with a future market plan for the supermarket.
