		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS A new $200 milllion water park and resort, planned for Perryville near the existing Hollywood Casino, could mark a new era in Cecil County economic development—with a potential ripple effect to attract other new amenities to the western area of the county and revive past development dreams that were dashed by the last recession. Great Wolf Lodge, which operates 18 resorts with the nearest location in the Pocono mountains in Pennsylvania, is expected to build a hotel with at least 450 rooms, a conference center, restaurants and shops. Those facilities would be centered around its water park, climbing wall and other recreational amenities. The project will be located adjacent to the casino in the long vacant “Chesapeake Overlook” site on about 44 acres in Perryville. Another adjacent 55 acres of open land could become attractive to other developers looking to piggyback on the waterpark’s lure to visitors. Cecil County officials announced the project, which is expected to open by summer, 2022, at a Tuesday morning (12/18/2018) worksession of the County Council but rumors of such a project have been circulating in local government and real estate circles for months. The project is expected to create from 400 to [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<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.

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Commissioners have drafted a $169 million proposed budget for Fiscal 2013 that would freeze public schools funds at the current level, give a 1 percent cost-of-living raise to county employees and set property taxes at the “constant yield” rate. But since overall revenues from income taxes and property taxes paid to the county are down due to the recession and lower property values, it will take a slight increase in the property tax rate to yield the same, or “constant,” level of money coming into county coffers. As a result, county officials said, the county property tax rate will rise slightly, from .9401 cents per $100 of assessed property value to .9957 cents in the new budget year, which begins July 1. The proposed budget also taps reserve funds for $3 million to provide over half of a $5.9 million increase in county spending in the new budget year. But $2.4 million of that figure is actually a contingency plan for the anticipated state shift of teacher pension costs to the county. The draft budget proposal was hammered out in several closed door sessions of the County Commissioners over the past few weeks. Those sessions were much [&#8230;]]]></description>
