		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County government and the Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS) have signed an agreement mapping possible future business uses of extra land not needed for the new vo-tech school on the more than 90-acre Basell property. But left in the air is who would pay to build office and other buildings and whether the county would sell or lease parcels on the site to private interests. From the moment that the county government first considered buying the Appleton Road property several years ago for use as a vocational-technical school, an added attraction was the large landmass surrounding the former Basell scientific laboratory building north of Elkton. And promoting economic development opportunities on some of the vacant land surrounding the main building was always in the cards. With conversion of the existing building and its many science labs into the county’s new vo-tech school now completed, the first class of 200 students recently began studies there. County Superintendent of Schools D’Ette Devine told the Cecil County Council on Tuesday that the school will more than double the number of vo-tech students, to about 420, in January when new vocational programs will be launched and additional specialized study areas opened.

		<description><![CDATA[Governor Larry Hogan’s recently proposed Fiscal 2016 state budget would cut local impact aid to counties and communities where gambling casinos are located, including a $372,000 hit on Cecil County’s aid from the Hollywood Casino in Perryville. An analysis of the budget proposal by the General Assembly’s non-partisan Department of Legislative Services said that the budget proposal would re-direct over $3.8 million in Fiscal 2016 statewide from local casino impact aid to the state’s education trust fund, to which the casinos already contribute a share of their revenues. The shift in funds would enable Hogan to cut an equal amount of state general funds currently allocated to education. The aid cut would also affect the town of Perryville, which receives 35 percent of the impact aid generated by the Hollywood Casino under an agreement with the county government. So the proposed aid cut would diminish the county’s share by nearly $242,000 and the town’s share by over $130,000. The local impact aid is supposed to help counties and towns cope with costs associated with providing fire, police and emergency services as well as road improvements and other projects in the area of the casinos. In the current Fiscal 2015 budget, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Port Deposit mayor and former county commissioner Wayne Tome has filed as a candidate for the Cecil County Council in this year’s elections, seeking to regain the District 4 seat he lost in 2010. Tome is also the first Democrat to file in this year’s Council races, in which three seats are at stake: Districts 2, 3, and 4. Republicans have already filed in those districts. He formally announced his candidacy during a weekend event at the Carriage House in Port Deposit, the historic old Jacob Tome property in the waterfront town. “We need to get back to the stage we were trying to set before we got derailed for the past few years,” Tome said in an interview with Cecil Times. He cited delays in acquiring the Basell property for a new school of technology that forced the county to pay $4 million more than necessary for the site and the continued failure by county government to provide needed infrastructure to attract business and economic development to the county’s growth corridor. “The I-95 corridor is a hotbed of activity” in nearby areas, Tome said, but Cecil County lacks the water, sewage treatment and high-speed Internet services that new or [&#8230;]]]></description>
