Elkton’s 2012: deaths, growth, and new town leaders
Elkton faced loss with the deaths of Ben Graessle and Mary Elizabeth Kite while welcoming new businesses and ventures. The town saw openings like Elkton Family Pharmacy, Gennaro’s closing and new eateries, a reopened Semper Fi computer repair, and Valley Pickers antique shop. Downey Knolls began lot sales, the EDRC shifted toward a Business Appreciation Award, and six men and women joined or left local governance as Joshua Gooden, a recent ERHS graduate, became the town’s youngest council member.
