Wicomico Seeking $545K For Watershed Work

SALISBURY – Wicomico County is looking to state grant funds as a means to help it fulfill requirements of a watershed implementation plan.

Last week the County Council held a public hearing on a resolution authorizing the County Executive to submit a grant application and accept a grant award from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays Trust Fund Capital Improvement Grant in an amount up to $545,000.

According to the resolution, the DNR Trust Fund provides capital improvement grant funding to organizations having demonstrated ability to implement non-point source pollution control projects to improve the Chesapeake Bay water quality.
