FREDERICK, Md. - Gov. Martin O'Malley is awarding $980,000 to help preserve 150
acres of Civil War battlegrounds in Frederick County.
The Department of Natural Resources announced the funding Tuesday.
O'Malley says the private Civil War Trust will match the funds for a total of
$1.96 million.
The Civil War Trust will acquire the seven properties and preserve them through
conservation easements that restrict development.

This site has preserving itself for 150 years we cant wait a year or two till the budget situation improves?
And the state can't afford to keep the ATV. riding sites open cause no money. What a crock !!
let's get the unemployed off of welfare when they are able to work but won't. take away the incentives not to work. Food stamps also. Use the criminals to do the yard and road work like they did in the South. Try to run and risk getting shot. Then $980,000 is a drop in the bucket.
To just keep out developers shouldn't cost a nickel. Where does all this award money go. We NEVER know.
Does this change them from taxable property to non-taxable poperty??
