Frederick County Officials Plan 12 Year Road Program
Frederick County Commissioners on Monday formalized participation in the 12-year road plan next year seeking to borrow $276,700 from the State Roads Commission. Bonds to cover the sum would be offered July 1 by the commission and about 60 miles of new roads are proposed for next year. With added funds the program aims to finance and complete about 40 miles this year, roughly doubling output, relying on state gasoline tax revenue and county levy funds. Plan calls for winter surveys and early spring construction, using contracts and Roads Board forces, with emphasis on obtaining right of ways and prioritizing projects where access is possible. Officials hope to double annual construction under the 12-year program and reduce unimproved mileage, though success hinges on property owner cooperation and timely right-of-way acquisitions.
