		<description><![CDATA[A long-awaited consultant’s report issued on Monday outlines a multi-part strategy to improve the Fair Hill equine facilities, including a new arena with grandstands to be built in the county fairgrounds area, a visitor’s center, and VIP covered seating in the current steeplechase area. The proposals would cost up to $23.9 million if all five segments were completed. The report was prepared by Crossroads Consulting Services and presented to the Maryland Stadium Authority and the Maryland Horse Industry Board (MHIB.) MHIB has been trying for many years to develop a “horse park” but in recent years has backed away from a single, new multi-use facility. Instead, the board is seeking to promote multiple equine facilities that already exist, with enhanced marketing and facility improvements to promote equine-related tourism and economic development. The earlier concept for a major single ‘horse park’ drew strong opposition from many local residents, fearful that the peaceful and multi-use aspects of Fair Hill would be overwhelmed. The state eventually settled on an Anne Arundel county location, at the old Naval Academy dairy farm, but local opposition and high costs scuttled that plan. After that debacle, state equine industry advocates shifted gears to the concept of multiple [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Maryland state government is considering investing money, expertise and promotional support to enhance the equine industry and tourism in Cecil County through a new, scaled-down horse park concept that would provide enhanced marketing and promotional campaigns for three locations in the state, including Fair Hill in Cecil County. But even as state officials outlined preliminary concepts, there were already rifts evident among Cecil County commissioners. The new proposal, outlined at Tuesday’s commissioners’ worksession and in earlier emails to county officials, comes at a time that the Fair Hill Training Center—home for thoroughbred racehorses such as Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom and recent Belmont Stakes winner Union Rags&#8211; have brought international recognition to the county and the unique, pastoral quality of Fair Hill. To capitalize upon that newfound recognition could bring substantial economic benefits to the county. (Union Rags is soon to be moved out of the county to Kentucky to stand at stud after the recent announcement of his retirement.) But the training center for world-class thoroughbred horses is but a small part of the sprawling Fair Hill complex, which features riding trails for amateur equestrians and hosts steeplechase races several times a year on a separate track. In 2006, [&#8230;]]]></description>
