Bayside Park plans advance under Gov Lane
Annapolis May 16 Governor Lane said he is working on plans for a Bayside State Park at Sandy Point. Blueprints for a modern public beach on the 679 acre site are under study with no opening date set. Access roads bathhouses and other facilities must be built before the waterfront tract can serve an estimated 2 million potential users. The Legislature appropriated 250 000 for Sandy Point development with about 80 000 more from a 1947 fund remaining for park purchases. The state seeks funds to cover welfare and public assistance costs amid a broader debate over a special legislative session.
