Delegation Seeks Jefferson Boulevard Extension to Vindobota
A 50 strong delegation led by Judge Glenn H. Worthington asks Frederick County Commissioners to urge the State Roads Commission to extend Jefferson boulevard from its terminus through Dollars Station to W L Smith’s residence about three quarters of a mile. The move would boost development and the taxable base, aligning with the Braddock lateral road under state supervision. Officials reportedly favor the request, with a deadline before January 1 to secure next year’s budget. The Vindobota development offers scenic views of Frederick and Middletown valleys, encouraging new homes by next summer.
