St. Mary’s County is getting rid of some extra land they don’t need. During a meeting last week, they decided to sell 41 pieces of land they got through taking people’s properties for not paying taxes. If you’re interested, you can find out more on the County Attorney’s page.
The meeting started with some boring stuff like saying a prayer and saluting the flag. Then they talked about all kinds of random things like celebrating Earth Day and appreciating people who work after school. They even gave a shoutout to three students who helped out with things like fixing stuff and giving tech support.
The county also talked about their plans to fix up the area in the next few years. They want to sell some land in Longview Beach for prices between $4,500 and $140,500. It’s a way for them to make some money and clear their books. They had a meeting earlier this month to hear what the community had to say, and they hope to start selling the land soon.
The county people also talked about some money stuff, like paying for the sheriff’s office and changing some jobs around to save money. They also mentioned some fun events happening soon, like a concert and a fireman’s convention. They want to keep things open and honest with the community.
Later that day, they had more meetings about things like giving rewards to volunteer first responders and raising taxes for some rescue squads. People can share their thoughts on the budget until the end of the month. They’re also meeting with the Navy soon to talk about important stuff.
Selling this land is just part of what the county does to save money and make things better. If you want to buy some land, you should contact the County Attorney’s Office. They hope to start selling the land soon after checking that everything is legal.
