City restructures plans to fund new public works yard
City officials outlined options to cover a $590000 shortfall for the public works yard by accepting the lowest bid and seeking cost cuts. Potential savings include delaying Moocracy Boulevard work, expanding the water plant, selling land and water rights, and delaying fire equipment purchases now handled by Frederick County. Bankable gains from grants and land sales could fund the yard and related costs, with borrowing only as a last resort.
