County faces possible return of 70000 Hanson House grant
Frederick County may have to reimburse 70000 in state funds used for work on the Hanson House after an attorney general opinion said the 1976 appropriation could not be used for demolition or reconstruction. The building is set to be part of the Patrick Street court house complex, amid controversy after much of the brick structure was torn down for safety. Maryland's Board of Public Works plans to recoup the money, with officials noting the grant was for renovation and adaptive reuse rather than new construction. County officials defend the use, arguing funds were applied to renovation and adaptive reuse in compliance with the law, while a state suit to recover the money is possible.
