Frederick County Enforces Planning Commission Consultation
Twenty years ago President Charles E. Collins announced a state law requiring Frederick County agencies to consult the Planning and Zoning Commission before selecting sites for building projects including schools. George Speer, planning commission chair, says other county agencies may have been unaware of the law. CAPITOL Bus Lines sought about 800 in county tax abatement on its franchise, noting net income below the tax rate in Frederick County last year. The commissioners queried county attorney Samuel W. Barrick but did not decide on granting the abatement, while Collins supported the idea in principle but urged equal treatment for all local bus companies.
