		<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[Cecil County government wants to abandon the Stemmers Run boat ramp and waterfront park in Earleville to save $5,000 a year in maintenance costs and because the county parks director dislikes having to send mowers and staff to the rural area. The boat ramp is operated under a free lease from the state and federal governments and if the county fails to renew the lease in December, those agencies won’t continue the facility, county officials said. The facility, located on 22 acres of land adjacent to a state Department of Natural Resources-operated Wildlife Management Area and the US Army Corps of Engineers Pearce Creek dredging spoil dumpsite, features two boat ramps, a pier, a large parking area, and grassy areas at the waterfront setting on the Elk River at the entrance to the upper Chesapeake Bay. Located at the end of Pond Neck Road, the site is popular with local joggers, bike riders, dog-walkers, and picnic-ers as well as boaters, who have to pay a $20 annual fee for a county permit to use boat trailers to launch their watercraft. The site is the only county recreational facility of any size south of the C&#038;D Canal, other than a half-acre [&#8230;]]]></description>
