County leaders eye 2 5 million school bill approval
The Frederick County Commissioners may not oppose a 2 5 million enabling act for new school construction as soon as it is offered in the legislature. The Board of Education backs the plan but some commissioners dissent. They prefer serial notes over bonds to avoid extra local tax burden and seek to ensure incentive funds cover debt service. They anticipate tripling or quadrupling state incentive funds to fund any serial notes or bonds.
