City and county to recoup less than 10 percent of rink loan
The City of Frederick and Frederick County will recover under 10 percent of their $125 000 loans to the Sports and Ice Arena after last week’s 2.8 million sale. Farmers and Mechanics National Bank holds the first lien, leaving both governments with about 10 000 each. County and city officials note the broader value includes tax revenue of about 60 000 yearly to the city and ongoing regional benefits while acknowledging the risk of such investments.
