CRISFIELD, Md. (AP) — Federal recovery aid following Superstorm Sandy will help rebuild an aging school building in Somerset County.
County officials plan to use $3 million from the $16.7 million awarded to the country for Sandy recovery to demolish and replace the former H. DeWayne Whittington Primary School in Crisfield. The building now houses Crisfield Head Start and the It Takes a Village after-school program.
The county has owned the building since the Board of Education closed the school in a 2005 realignment.

Just chalk it up to more welfare spending.
ReplyDeleteNeeds to be done! Good decision now make sure that the funding actually gets there.
ReplyDeleteLet me guess 5:55, unless it is an increase in your SS.
ReplyDeleteCommon sense would say that Sandy money should actually be used to help victims of Sandy. Now we are using it to tear down buildings and build new ones. My guess is that the county could not spend all of the money and is just looking to get rid of it any way they can. It's such a waste of tax money it makes me want to throw up.
ReplyDelete9:38, correct. Housing that had mud on their floors need to be raised or rebuilt above the flood stage of such a storm. That money could go such a long way in preventing future damage.
ReplyDeleteInstead, they hand it over to the BOE, who already gets over half of the tax base.
