		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County could be on the hook for $414,500 if state rural land preservation funds don’t come through next year for a farmland easement deal backed by three county commissioners. At the least, the county would be fronting $620,000 for the Cecil Land Trust now to buy an easement on the Jacob and Virginia Carson farm located on Route 274 near Rising Sun. About $214,500 from federal farm and ranchland protection funds could be received fairly quickly in Fiscal 2012, as a partial reimbursement to the county. But Cecil Land Trust president William Kilby told the County Commissioners Tuesday “there are no guarantees” that the balance of the cost would be reimbursed by state Rural Legacy Funds and the best-case scenario was that the state money would only be paid out in Fiscal 2013. It was Kilby’s second appearance this month before the County Commissioners to pitch the proposal. (See previous Cecil Times report here: https://ceciltimes.com/2011/05/cecil-county-commissioners-get-earful-from-perryville-mayor-dog-parents/ Kilby’s group has yet to formally apply for either the state or federal aid programs. During his last appearance, two commissioners insisted on seeing a formal written proposal for the project before making any commitments. Kilby presented a two page summary of the plan [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Organizers of the long-stalled Cecil County Farm Museum, proposed a decade ago for a Cherry Hill-area site, have told county officials they will give up their lease on the county-owned land and look for another location. That action will leave the county holding an 84-acre property with access and wetlands problems that is now worth much less than the county paid to buy it in 2002. During their Tuesday worksession, county staff told the Board of Commissioners that the Cecil County Farm Museum, Inc., a non-profit group set up to build the museum, wants out of the rent-free 99-year lease that was signed in November, 2002. For over a year, the county has been dealing with problems caused when the museum group built a road that violated wetlands protection regulations, resulting in protests from the Army Corps of Engineers and the state Department of the Environment. To fix environmental problems with the road could cost $250,000, which the group felt was too costly, so they decided it would be cheaper to rip out the road and restore the land to its previous condition, the commissioners were told. Then the group will abandon that site and look for another location. That [&#8230;]]]></description>
