		<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[The Democratic primary election candidates for Cecil County Executive and two new County Council seats had some mostly gentle disagreements with each other during a candidate forum Wednesday evening, in contrast to some of the more embattled discord among members of the county’s current all-Republican government. The forum, sponsored by Cecil County Democrats and held at Cecil College, featured separate panels for the County Executive candidates—Pam Howard, Robert McKnight and Winston Robinson—and those running in the party’s primary for County Council. James Crouse, the former mayor of Elkton, is running unopposed in the Democratic primary in District 5 while Garrett Billmire and Pamela Bailey are contending against each other in District 1. Crouse provided some of the most interesting and detailed proposals of the evening, saying that the county should consider some of the revenue-raising ideas he advanced while a councilman and mayor of the county’s largest town for about 24 years. He suggested the county should institute a hotel room tax to garner revenues needed to pay for county services without burdening local residents. He said the Elkton hotel tax generates over $1 million a year just from those establishments located in town limits. Such fees or “nuisance taxes” [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While celebrating his recent birthday, controversial Cecil County Planning Commission member Owen Thorne barked his approval when his friend, Cecil County Commissioner Michael Dunn (R-3), called Thorne “the guard dog of Cecil Co.” “Ruff, Ruff,” Thorne replied to Dunn’s post on his Facebook wall. “Hey, am I still a planning commissioner next month?” Dunn is trying to give Thorne a belated birthday present with renewal of his interim appointment to the planning panel. And Thorne has already been handed an influential subcommittee chairmanship that could largely determine how land preservation funds are allocated. Members of the Cecil County Patriots, the local tea party organization, howled back at the ‘guard dog’ Tuesday during the public comment section of the county commissioners’ meeting. At an earlier worksession of the commissioners, Dunn refused even to say in public who he would be naming to represent his district on the planning panel. But the tea party people had marked their calendars on when Thorne’s interim appointment would expire in August. The county commissioners were due to vote on the un-named appointee on Tuesday but put action off until later in the month since Commissioner Tari Moore (R-2) had to attend a state farm bureau [&#8230;]]]></description>
