		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report Redevelopment of the sprawling 1,185-acre Bainbridge site in Port Deposit, stalled for two decades by environmental and logistical problems, was celebrated by Gov. Hogan recently as a flag was raised on the first of three stages of the project that he praised as a model of economic development. But a last-minute provision secretly inserted into a parks bill by Del. Kevin Hornberger (R-35) could complicate or derail the next phase of the economic revitalization plan and, state legislative analysts say, jeopardize anticipated revenues to Cecil County and the town of Port Deposit. In addition, the long wished-for re-use of the historic Tome School property—devastated by arsonists and looters over the years—is also in jeopardy under provisions that could prevent private re-development of that 50-acre portion of the Bainbridge site through historic preservation tax credits to save the classic façade of the school—which state historical reviewers have determined is the only salvageable part of the school. And there is no assurance in the secret plan that the state would come up with the taxpayer-provided money that would be needed to salvage Tome as part of a state park. Hornberger did not consult in advance with many [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore told a standing room only crowd of about 200 citizens Tuesday evening that her administration will not abandon the Stemmer’s Run boat ramp in Earleville and she will seek state grant funds to build a breakwater, at an unknown cost, in the adjacent Elk River to protect the ramp. It was a public about-face from the earlier presentation to the County Council by her administration that it was considering not renewing a free lease with the state that expires in December. Clyde VanDyke, the county parks and recreation director, had said he was reluctant to spend the $5,000 currently spent per year to mow grassy areas near the ramps, pier and parking lot. After an outpouring of support for continued operations of the boat ramp from local residents and boaters for one of only three public ramps operated by the county, County Council members said they had been privately assured that the ramp would remain open and the lease renewed. But the county administration did not provide a public statement to that effect, and scheduled the meeting for Tuesday evening at the Parklands community meeting room in Cecilton, after moving the site from the tiny [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS The Cecil County Executive’s plan to abandon a waterfront boat ramp in Earleville, the only county recreational facility in the south county, has been quietly disclosed to local citizens via a hand-written yard sale type sign, with a public “informational meeting” scheduled at a tiny meeting room at the Cecilton library in October hosted by “administrative staff” rather than the executive or County Council. The proposal by the administration of County Executive Tari Moore was first disclosed to the County Council a week ago, and this past weekend two small yard-sale type signs were posted at the Stemmer’s Run waterfront park and boat ramp announcing a “public meeting” on Moore’s plan to abandon the facility&#8211; for which the county has a free lease from state and federal agencies, with the only county obligation being to maintain and mow the area at a cost of $5,000 a year. [SEE previous CECIL TIMES report on the county’s proposed abandonment of the popular local boat ramp, dog-walking, biking and jogging park here: https://ceciltimes.com/2015/09/cecil-county-exec-wants-to-abandon-earleville-boat-ramp-to-save-5k-fate-of-park-adjacent-to-us-dump-uncertain/ ] Several members of the County Council insisted that the community be advised of the proposal, and during the weekend two tiny hand-crafted signs were posted: one at [&#8230;]]]></description>
