		<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[NEWS ANALYSIS Dan Schneckenburger, a former one-term Cecil County Council member who was installed as the county Director of Administration by new County Executive Danielle Hornberger less than a year ago, was suddenly replaced this week by an acting administrator who lives in Harford County. The sudden actions shocked County Council members and raised questions on what prompted the changes and who might ultimately be named for a permanent slot that would have to be approved by the Council. In early morning phone calls on Thursday (10/21/2021) to members of the County Council, Hornberger stated that Schneckenburger had “resigned” his position and would be replaced by an acting administrator, Steven Overbay, the current Economic Development director. In turn, he would be replaced on an acting basis by Sandra Edwards, the second-ranking official in the Economic Development Department, sources said. Later in the day, Hornberger also sent emails to a number of officials at independent county institutions relaying the “resignation” message, sources said. Schneckenburger was very visible over the weekend, on Saturday at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the county Farm Museum and throughout the weekend at the inaugural 5 Star equestrian event at Fair Hill that had been planned for [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Which retirement account investment option would you prefer: 100% of $100,000 or 70% of $1 million? Seems like a no-brainer: $100,000 or $700,000 in your later-years pocket. But it took a while for the fiscal lightbulbs to be turned on at a Cecil County Council worksession on Tuesday (10/15/2019), after Councilor George Patchell and the county’s economic development director flipped the light switch. As a result, Councilor Jackie Gregory (R-5) lost a vote to challenge individual projects proposed for inclusion in “enterprise zone” economic development plans, and some of her initial supporters on the panel changed course. By the end of the day, Gregory acknowledged the obvious and supported approval of the enterprise zone list at an evening Council legislative meeting. At issue was legislation to designate five properties to be included on an application to the state of Maryland for possible designation as “enterprise zones,” which provide temporary property tax abatements for land on which new economic development projects are developed. Fundamentally, the zones give temporary property tax breaks at the state and county level during the first 10 years of a project, while greatly increasing the taxable value of the land due to the new development [&#8230;]]]></description>
