When the Local Development Council met for the first time earlier this year, county officials asked the group for a recommendation on how to spend $15 million in impact fees expected next year from the Maryland Live! casino in Hanover.
After two meetings, the 15-member council — made up of area residents, business leaders and elected officials — recommended the money go to improve local police and fire services in the area around the $500 million casino, set to open this summer.
The group, created in accordance with state law, also recommended the county spend money on education, infrastructure and other needs around Arundel Mills mall. County Executive John R. Leopold included the recommendations in his proposed $1.2 billion budget for fiscal 2013.
