Venskoske shaping a changing Frederick County legacy
Elmer Venskoske, longtime Frederick County Planning Commissioner since the mid sixties, recalls the county's evolution from small farms to development driven growth. He left baking for farming in 1947 and later joined the livestock trade, balancing work at the exchange with limited farming. He notes past planning missteps, lawsuits, and the county's push toward urbanization, expresses hope for the future, and indicates willingness for another term on the planning board.
