SALISBURY – Many supporters of the replacement of West Salisbury Elementary School attended this week’s County Council meeting, but they were disappointed to find the resolution to fund the project had been removed from the agenda and delayed till next month.
Earlier this month, Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt requested the County Council adopt a resolution providing the issuance and sale of general obligation bonds in an aggregate amount not to exceed $16,525,000. The proceeds are to be used for the public purpose of funding costs of certain capital projects.
The capital improvement projects include the Board of Education projects of about $5.7 million for the Bennett Middle School Project and $1.25 million for the replacement of West Salisbury School; $1,800,000 for Phase 3 of the Westside Collector; $500,000 for Lower Wicomico River Dredge Material Placement (DMP) Site and $500,000 for the Middle River DMP Site; the purchase of a State’s Attorney Building for about $4 million; the A.W. Perdue Stadium Restoration/Modernization Project for $1.58 million; $1 million for the Youth and Civic Center Upgrade and Expansion; and $200,500 for the contingency fund.
The resolution was scheduled to come before the council during Tuesday morning’s session but was removed due to County Executive-Elect Bob Culver taking office on Dec. 2. Culver will need time to review the list and choose to make changes.

ReplyDeleteI would love to know what percentage of county tax dollars comes from West Salisbury.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy the 'if you don't do it you are a racist theme'
Maybe the county will see an influx of revenue coming from the newly minted legal immigrant population..
Or not..
There were only about 5 people there and Shanie Shields was one of them. Another one was Melva Polk Wright who is the principal of the school. I think she had no business speaking and John Fredericksen had no business allowing her to go. Did school principal Melva Polk Wright use her vacation time to attend that County Council meeting? If she can take off to attend a County Council meeting obviously she is not needed in the first place. Shame on the Board of Education meeting.
