The Tri-County Council of Southern Maryland presented a check for $79,680 to the Commissioners of St. Mary’s County during the board’s weekly business meeting.
The money is earmarked for the relocation of the Charlotte Hall Farmers Market.
In 2006, St. Mary’s County signed an agreement with the Tri-County Council’s Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission (SMADC) which allows the county to use 10% of its land preservation funds for farmer’s market improvements. The money represents funds for FY2017 and FY2018.
