Growth management dominates county commissioners race
Growth management stands as the top issue in the Frederick County commissioners race amid debate over impact fees and the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance. Incumbents tout a strong record, while challengers argue growth is inadequately controlled and schools and roads are underfunded. The county raised its impact fee from 2000 to 3000, ranking fourth among neighboring counties, and tightened APFO to curb growth where schools are over capacity. Commissioner Rhoderick defends actions, while Gray faults the board’s overall effort and cites overcrowded schools as a key failing.
