Commissioners cut capital projects amid budget squeeze
County officials sliced $15 million from the capital improvements program, hampering roads, schools, parks, sewers and other services. Only $7.3 million in local revenue remains to fund $22.38 million in requests for next year, with education parks and the highway department among the hardest hit. The tentative CIP must be ready by December, with a full budget plan due in spring and adoption in May. Frederick City loses most of its capital asks, and school funding drops from $4.746 million to $2.795 million. Governor policy prompts shifting $295,000 of items into operating funds. highway and engineering lose $3 million, parks cut $347,000, leaving excess requests of about $5.7 million.
