Proposed Berlin Youth Activity Center Seeking Loan From State To Get Project Underway

BERLIN – Town officials again voiced their support of the activity center proposed by a local businesswoman as she seeks funding help from the state.

The Berlin Town Council unanimously passed a resolution in support of Carmella Solito’s plan to build a youth activity center — to feature daycare and gymnastics, among other things — on Old Ocean City Boulevard.

Now that she has the support of local government, Solito is expected to receive a loan from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) to enable the Berlin Activities Depot to become reality.

“It’s a loan from the state so they need to make sure local government is in support of this,” said Ivy Wells, the town’s economic and community development director.

This is interesting. Now that private business person is building this rec center the town can stop their foolish plan to but the Tyson plant. Oh, no, they wont do that as they want to take more properties off the tax records so they can raise our taxes more and create a new department with more people and equipment and of course pay one of their own council people $2.5 MILLION DOLLARS and get him out from under his own business mistake.
