Walkersville weighs tax hike and Crum Road closing
About 60 residents attended a town meeting to discuss a potential 10 cent tax rate increase and a short term comprehensive plan. The central issue was closing Crum Road at Md 194 due to ongoing accidents, with residents fearing traffic shifts to Glade Boulevard and impact on local businesses. Local officials said no decision will be made before a public hearing. The meeting also covered property re designation to agricultural, with some residents arguing against changes for long time family owners. Commissioners will set the 1998 rate at a May 28 town meeting following a May 22 budget workshop.
