The Maryland Board of Public Works on Wednesday approved the FY2019 Rural Legacy Program grants, including $3.148 million for Frederick County’s Mid-Maryland Frederick-Carrollton Manor Rural Legacy Area.
“One of my priorities is to ensure we have a legacy of agriculture for the future,” commented County Executive Jan Gardner. “Preserving large areas of farmland will support the long-term viability of our agricultural community. In the past four years, we have preserved 10,000 acres for a total of 60,000 acres.”
